+
+To be able to communicate with each other, services need to register in a common registry.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The type of registry to use can be configured with the `MICRO_REGISTRY` environment variable. Supported values are:
+
+### `memory`
+
+Setting the environment variable to `memory` starts an inmemory registry. This only works with the single binary deployment.
+
+### `nats-js-kv`
+
+Set the environment variable to `nats-js-kv` (or leave it empty) to use a nats-js key value store as registry.
+- Note: If not running build-in nats, `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS` needs to be set to the address of the nats-js cluster. (Same as `OCIS_EVENTS_ENDPOINT`)
+- Optional: Use `MICRO_REGISTRY_AUTH_USERNAME` and `MICRO_REGISTRY_AUTH_PASSWORD` to authenticate with the nats cluster.
+
+This is the default.
+
+### `kubernetes`
+
+When deploying in a kubernetes cluster, the kubernetes registry can be used. Additionally the `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS` environment
+variable needs to be set to the url of the kubernetes registry.
+
+### Deprecated registries
+
+These registries are currently working but will be removed in a later version. It is recommended to switch to a supported one.
+
+- `nats`. Uses a registry based on nats streams. Requires `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS` to bet set.
+- `etcd`. Uses an etcd cluster as registry. Requires `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS` to bet set.
+- `consul`. Uses `HashiCorp Consul` as registry. Requires `MICRO_REGISTRY_ADDRESS` to bet set.
+- `mdns`.  Uses multicast dns for registration. This type can have unwanted side effects when other devices in the local network use mdns too.
