Increasing SLOs from 2 nines to 3 nines improves uptime by nearly400 minutes monthly, while increasing from 4 nines to 5 nines adds just about 3 minutes. The costs and complexity of achieving higher nines grow exponentially, requiring significant redundancy and automation... read more  

Uploading container images to S3 as a registry works by exposing an S3 bucket through HTTP and uploading the image files to specific paths. Benchmarking showed S3 uploads are up to 8x faster than AWS ECR due to S3's support for parallel chunk uploads. Despite being experimental, this method provides.. read more
