    For big organisations with larger software teams, they may put value on considerations like security (automatic container image scanning, limiting which networks their container imagines are transferred through, ability to centrally manage and audit policies used by many teams), consolidating the number of vendors they need to vet and enter into contracts with, or finding a uniform package repo solution that works for container images and also for the other types of packages or artefacts. Big organisations are likely find that these other considerations matter more than the cost of cloud storage & network egress.

    Maybe some of these potential adoption hurdles vanish if an organisation already has Cloudflare as a vendor. Provided Cloudflare is selling this as a solution they support under the existing contract.

    Are you considering offering this as a commercial service if you find a market of other people who are interested in it? Or more thinking of it as something you could potentially open source?

      Agree. I was thinking that this be more targeted toward hobbyists and start ups. If I can get 5 - 10 people interested enough to try it, I'll do a release of some sort.
