I’ve started running into problems deploying ODFE due to [Docker’s newly changed rate limits](https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limits?utm_source=docker&utm_medium=web%20referral&utm_campaign=increase%20rate%20limit&utm_budget=). Today, for example, I’m working with an internal testing group using a Kubernetes cluster and have had to deploy/redeploy multiple times. But now the deployment is failing due to the rate limits.

The specific error message (shown within the Kubernetes event) is:

_Failed to pull image “amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch:1.7.0”: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: [Increase Rate Limits - Docker](https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit)_

Other than waiting six hours and/or upgrading my Docker subscription, are there other solutions? Is Amazon considering hosting the ODFE images on their own registry?
