Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are improving container security with artifacts and enabling deployments on AWS. For production deployments with a pipeline augmentation process and check for any known vulnerabilities when releasing the build. We'll use managed docker pipelines to integrate with pipelines to get the benefits of automatically updating new repository models, pushing container images, and extracting artifacts.

Pros and Cons

Artifact solves the problem of internal packages when there are new dependencies.
Package managers like pip for python yarn/npm have become toolkits for mainstream developers.
It can be configured as the main and mirror repository source for public packages.

If the website you're trying to access doesn't require authentication, you'll need to whitelist it, which can create performance issues.

Most Important Features

Faster download times.
Less corporate proxy load.
Add protection against known malicious packages.

Return on Investment

Support multiplatform driven artifacts.
Easy to locate any artifact by name, size and type.
