Deis Workflow ships with a [registry][registry] component by default, which provides an in-cluster Docker registry backed by the platform-configured [object storage][storage]. Operators might want to use an off-cluster registry for performance or security reasons. ## Configuring Off-Cluster Private Registry -Every component that relies on registry uses two inputs for configuration: +Every component that relies on a registry uses two inputs for configuration: 1.

Deis Workflow supports external registries which provide either short-lived tokens which are valid only for a specified amount of time or long-lived tokens (basic username/password) which are valid forever for authenticating to them. For those registries which provide short lived tokens for authentication, Deis Workflow will generate and refresh them such that the deployed apps will only have access to the short-lived tokens and not to the actual credentials for the registries. +The Helm chart for Deis Workflow can be easily configured to connect Workflow components to off-cluster registry.
