2. Introduction to Advanced Artifact Management
Artifact management in GitLab involves handling build outputs, dependencies, and other files generated during CI/CD pipelines. Advanced artifact management focuses on optimizing storage, ensuring security, and enabling efficient sharing, versioning, and verification of artifacts.
Importance of Advanced Artifact Management
- Efficiency: Reduce build times and costs by caching and sharing artifacts.
- Reproducibility: Ensure consistent build environments with stored artifacts.
- Security: Securely manage and protect sensitive artifacts to ensure compliance.
