I opened a support chat, and within 10 minutes I already got the size limit for conan packages bumped to 1GB on my subscription. You guys are amazingly fast!

@Jose_SimoesCan’t say enough good things about @cloudsmith’s support folks. Asked for clarification about a long-term item on their roadmap and suggested a workaround and they said “That’s a great idea, I’ll open a ticket right now and put it in the next sprint.”

Signs you’re ready to migrate to Cloudsmith for Docker
Docker is amongst the most common formats used by our customers. They typically report a common set of issues that trigger a move away from self-managed or on-prem architecture.
- With Cloudsmith there is no hardware to manage, ever
- We offer retention rules to automatically clear out unused containers
- You only pay for what you use
- With Cloudsmith your containers automatically sync across the globe
- You never need to add another node, or scale infrastructure, we manage everything
- Replicating databases, caching hacks and workarounds go away
- Cloudsmith tracks OCI standards, and implements them across our entire platform
- There is no action for you to take as package and container formats evolve, we do that for you
Managing capacity and juggling servers
Scaling self-managed Docker container registries necessarily means spinning up infrastructure, juggling drive space, and inevitably building up huge volumes of unnecessary data.
Scaling and replication headaches
Scaling your container infrastructure as your business needs change, while managing replication between on-prem instances and cloud availability zones adds unnecessary operational overhead. You simply do not need the hassle.
Constant upgrades and patching pressures
OCI standards are evolving quickly to support new features like container signing. To ensure compliance with emerging standards, legacy solutions need to issue constant patches and upgrades. You then need to apply these to your servers, globally. Keeping your current docker container infrastructure fed and watered is a massive waste of time and talent.
