Artifact Repository

A service that stores and versions build outputs and dependency packages, such as Nexus, Artifactory, Azure Artifacts, AWS CodeArtifact, or GitHub Packages.

Definition

Artifact repositories host internal packages (npm, Maven, PyPI, NuGet), proxy and cache public registries, and provide access control and retention. They improve reproducibility and supply-chain control.

Example

Azure Artifacts feeds host internal NuGet packages with upstream sources to nuget.org.

Exam tip

Upstream/proxy repositories protect builds from public registry outages and enable package vetting.
