We use private registry instances behind an ELB, with the containers stored in S3. When production counts on the registry being available, you've got to ensure reliability of the service and durability of the underlying container data.
But the Docker Hub is also a single point of failure, so now I'm considering just having our CI service dump (docker save) the container build to a tarfile and send it to S3, then having the destination host download it and run docker load.
Docker's handling of layers is excruciatingly slow, anyway.
