CircleCI Docker Push - Timeout

Build Environment

Hi,

My Docker push is taking a very long time - 10-15 mins per go.

Is there a way I can speed this up and get it working optimally?

Extracts of my circle.yml:

dependencies:
  cache_directories:
    - ~/docker
  pre:
    - gcloud --quiet components update app
    - gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file gce-key.json
    - gcloud config set project xyzxyz
  override:
    - if [[ -e ~/docker/image.tar ]]; then docker load -i ~/docker/image.tar; fi
    - docker build -t $EXTERNAL_REGISTRY_ENDPOINT/xyz:$CIRCLE_SHA1 .
    - mkdir -p ~/docker; docker save $EXTERNAL_REGISTRY_ENDPOINT/xyz:$CIRCLE_SHA1 > ~/docker/image.tar

deployment:
  prod:
    branch: ce-docker-testing
    commands:
      - gcloud docker push $EXTERNAL_REGISTRY_ENDPOINT/xyz:$CIRCLE_SHA1
