# 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](/docs-edge/tutorials/remote-k8s/configure-registry/aws.md)
* [GCP](/docs-edge/tutorials/remote-k8s/configure-registry/gcp.md)
* [Azure](/docs-edge/tutorials/remote-k8s/configure-registry/azure.md)
* [Docker Hub](/docs-edge/tutorials/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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.garden.io/docs-edge/tutorials/remote-k8s/configure-registry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
