- Repeated Docker pulls can be inefficient, especially with small changes.
- A single byte change in one layer invalidates all subsequent layers, even if other files remain identical.
- This inefficiency is problematic for systems with many dependencies, like ROS, leading to unnecessary large downloads.
- Slow network speeds, such as dial-up, exacerbate the issue, making smarter Docker pulls essential.
