Design a Docker artifact system for cost, traceability, and speed

Tests cost-speed-auditability tradeoffs for artifacts at scale. Strong answers cover tiered storage with lifecycle policies,immutable build provenance,regional caching, and automated garbage collection. Red flag: infinite mutable storage with no cleanup rules.
Tests balancing cost, speed, and auditability across many pipelines and teams. A strong answer covers four layers: tiered storage with lifecycle policies that archive or delete stale images; immutable tags and provenance metadata linking digests to git commits and CI runs; regional pull-through caches or local mirrors to avoid cross-continent pulls; and automated garbage collection with team quotas and retention rules for dev versus prod releases.
