# 2. Configure Container Registry

You'll need a container registry to be able to push and pull your container images. We typically refer to this as a **deployment registry**.

Garden needs access to the registry so that it can *push* the images that it builds and your Kubernetes cluster needs access so that it can pull the images. This access is provided via an "image pull secret". It can be a single secret used by both or two (or more) secrets.

At the end of this step you should have a container registry set up, created an image pull secret (or secrets), and have the following values at hand:

* The name of the image pull secret (or secrets).
* The name of the namespace were you created the image pull secret (or secrets).
* The hostname of your container registry.
* The "namespace" name for your container registry.

{% hint style="info" %}
The registry hostname and namespace name part of the fully qualified container image name. For example, the fully qualified name for the busybox image is `registry.hub.docker.com/library/busybox` where `registry.hub.docker.com` is the hostname and `library` is the namespace.
{% endhint %}

Below you'll find guides for specific cloud providers:

* [AWS](/bonsai-0.13/k8s-plugins/remote-k8s/configure-registry/aws.md)
* [GCP](/bonsai-0.13/k8s-plugins/remote-k8s/configure-registry/gcp.md)
* [Azure](/bonsai-0.13/k8s-plugins/remote-k8s/configure-registry/azure.md)
* [Docker Hub](/bonsai-0.13/k8s-plugins/remote-k8s/configure-registry/docker-hub.md)

As always, feel free to pick a different approach. The end goal having a container registry that Garden can push to and that your cluster can pull from.
