Docker Hub Monitoring

What Is Docker Hub?

Docker Hub is a cloud-based repository where Docker users and partners create, test, store, and distribute container images. It is the centralize hub for approximately 100,000 container images; providing the ability to automate workflows, build images from GitHub or Bitbucket, and distribute them to your users.
