Docker Hub rate limits causing failures in e2e tests

Is this the right place to submit this?

• This is not a question about how to use the sail-operator

Bug Description

In the Sail Operator e2e test suite, we use manifests that pull images like sleep, helloworld, sample, httpbin etc from Docker Hub. Occasionally, test cases fail due to Docker Hub's rate-limiting restrictions, leading to false test failures.

Maybe we can make use of some ENV variables that use docker hub alternatives/mirrors…
istio/tools#3111
openshift/release#60642

Another option is to configure your OCP:

apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: ImageDigestMirrorSet
metadata:
  name: docker-images-from-gcr
spec:
  imageDigestMirrors:
  - mirrors:
    - mirror.gcr.io
    source: docker.io
    mirrorSourcePolicy: NeverContactSource
---
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: ImageTagMirrorSet
metadata:
  name: docker-images-from-gcr
spec:
  imageTagMirrors:
  - mirrors:
    - mirror.gcr.io
    source: docker.io
    mirrorSourcePolicy: NeverContactSource
