Interesting day - what to do if docker registry fails with timeout.

So today was interestingly frustating...

I've setup my Mac in order to use brew for mostly everything because I like installing stuff from terminal. ( Definetly this is a personal issue from the days I had to install and reinstall my Windows machine ).

Now I did my development setup to support a backend oriented programmer because that's what I do in my professional life. With this in mind I wanted to dive into writing a lambda in node because I will use that know how for work.

So after a few "brew installs" which went ahead without a hitch I started :

- sam init

- sam build

- sam local invoke ScheduledEventLogger --event events/event-cloudwatch-event.json

Yes, I used the setup sam can create for you - I did say I was testing stuff out.

And then this happened : "docker: Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on 10.0.2.3:53: read udp 10.0.2.15:50524->10.0.2.3:53: i/o timeout."

Of course at this stage I popped up google search and start reading stackoverflow... So I tried a bunch of the things that were suggested - not a happy result in sight was to be seen. So then I've given up and said to myself that I need to get on the "tried and true" solution: uninstall and reinstall - but happiness was not in sight. And then I got onto : https://forums.docker.com/t/pulling-docker-images-i-o-timeout/740/6

So turned off and on my Wifi and "voila"
