Code Artifact

AWS CodeArtifact is a fully managed artifact repository service that makes it easy for organizations to securely store and share software packages used for application development. You can use CodeArtifact with popular build tools and package managers such as Maven, Gradle, npm, yarn, pip, and twine.

AWS CodeArtifact uses the following elements:

• Asset – An individual file stored in AWS CodeArtifact that is associated with a package version, such as an npm .tgz file or Maven POM and JAR files
• Package – A package is a bundle of software and the metadata that is required to resolve dependencies and install the software. AWS CodeArtifact supports npm, PyPI, and Maven package formats.
• Repository – A CodeArtifact repository contains a set of package versions, each of which maps to a set of assets. Repositories are polyglot—a single repository can contain packages of any supported type. Each repository exposes endpoints for fetching and publishing packages using tools like the npm CLI, the Maven CLI (mvn), and pip.
• Domain – Repositories are aggregated into a higher-level entity known as a domain. The domain allows organizational policy to be applied across multiple repositories. A domain deduplicates storage of the repositories packages.

Thiw week, AWS CodeArtifact supports AWS CloudFormation, enabling customers to create and manage CodeArtifact repositories with CloudFormation.
