Supported quick configure vendors:

- **Docker Hardened Images (DHI)**
- **Chainguard Containers**
- **WizOS**

Pre-configured upstreams are available for the DHI Community and Chainguard Containers Free tiers.

For paid tiers (DHI Select/Enterprise, Chainguard Containers, and WizOS), the proxy URL is pre-filled automatically. Just select the card, name your upstream, and add credentials where required.



For more information, see our integration guides for [Docker Hardened Images](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/integrations/integrating-with-docker-hardened-images), [Chainguard Containers](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/integrations/integrating-with-chainguard-images), and [WizOS](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/integrations/integrating-with-wizos).
