What happened?

Build container failed when Docker in the Resource Saver Mode. The call to IsAvailable -> dockerClient.System.PingAsync throws an exception. Need to wrap dockerClient.System.PingAsync with a retry behavior (like 5 x 3 sec ?). The first ping is failed but it wakes up the engine, so the next ping should be OK.
I tried to wrap .Build with a retry behavior, but it doesn't work because DockerEndpointAuthProvider is static and IsAvailable called only once.
Expected result: Can build and run a container when Docker in the Resource Saver Mode.

Interesting observation, I never ran into it. Thanks for sharing. Could you please share the stack trace? Do we get an exception here that we can use to decide wether a retry is necessary or not?
