[CentOS-devel] Container Images & Docker Hub Rate Limiting

Hi all,

At the beginning of November, Docker instituted rate limiting on
Docker Hub.  Some builds happening in Quay are now hitting this
limit[1], including those using the CentOS base images.

Docker has a program to remove the rate limiting for open source
projects[2]. Has anyone applied yet on behalf of the CentOS project?
If not, who would be the right person to contact?

We did notice that CentOS has its own registry[3], but it's currently
returning 502 Bad Gateway when you hit the index page. However
registry.centos.org/centos/centos:8 works -- is that a stable place
for us to get the latest CentOS container images?

Alternatively, would it be possible to get official builds for CentOS
published to quay?

Thanks -

Stephen
