# Registry

When you use JFrog Connect to deploy software to edge devices, the Connect Agent pulls the software image from a designated registry (such as JFrog Registry, Git, or DockerHub) where the image is stored.

When you use Connect for the first time, one [JFrog registry](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-jfrog-registry.md) is already configured in Artifactory. Before you can use this registry, you have to define the [access scoping](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-artifactory-access-scope.md). For any additional JFrog registries that you create, you will follow a simple two-step process:

1. Add the JFrog registry.
2. Configure Artifactory Access Scoping for that registry.

This process ensures that you have proper access controls in place for effective management of your software deployment.

### Additional Registries

To define registries in addition to the default registry, use the procedures as indicated below. Registries that are not JFrog do not include access scoping.

| Registry                                                            | See…                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Additional JFrog registries (Artifactory)                           | [Add JFrog Registry](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-jfrog-registry.md)          |
| Artifactory Edge                                                    | [Add JFrog Registry](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-jfrog-registry.md)          |
| Private Git                                                         | [Add Private Git](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-private-git.md)                |
| Private Docker Registry with providers AWS ECR, DockHub, or private | [Add Private Docker Registry](/administration-new-ui/general-settings/registry/add-private-docker.md) |
