​
Credentials

Here you can manage here the cloud provider credentials associated with your cluster. If you need to change the credentials:
  • generate a new set of credentials on your cloud provider (Procedure for Azure account)
  • create the new credential on the Qovery by opening the drop-down and selecting “New Credentials”
Once created and associated, you need to update your cluster to apply the change.

​
Mirroring registry

In this tab, you will see that a container registry already exist (called registry-{$UIID}). This is your cloud provider container registry used by Qovery to manage the deployment of your applications by mirroring the docker images. The credentials configured on this registry are the one used to create the cluster. But you can still update them if you prefer to manage them separately (dedicated pair of creds just to access the registry). Check this link for more information.
