Vercel Container Registry now supports 2 GB compressed image layers

Vercel said the higher per-layer cap lets developers push images with large toolchains or dependency sets without splitting them, citing custom Vercel Sandbox environments for coding-agent evaluations as a use case. Images can be built and pushed using Docker and the Vercel CLI.
