Distribute and share your images among teams across your organization, whether on-site or at remote locations, just like using Docker Hub Enterprise. Control access to your images using secure “docker pull”, and never have to rely on the internet to access them. Once your images are stored in your repository, find them easily with smart search.

We all know that prevention is better than cure. The same is true of your software systems. Removing potentially harmful dependencies once they are already deeply entrenched in your production software can require finding an alternative component, refactoring your software, and running several cycles of QA before you’re finally back where you were. Through Artifactory’s integration with Xray, you can avoid this kind of scenario by preventing artifacts that Xray has detected to have issues or vulnerabilities from being downloaded from your repositories and used in the first place.

JFrog and Sumo Logic have partnered up to create the Sumo Logic App for Artifactory. Provided for free with JFrog Artifactory, the Sumo Logic App provides a variety of dashboards out-of-the-box to give you insights into deployments by geolocation, IP address, or repository, traffic segmented by different parameters, request and access data, upload and download activity and more.

Development with PHP just got easier whether you’re doing front end web development or back end server code. Artifactory is a fully fledged PHP composer repository hosting both composer index files as well as binary packages.

Many tools are available for security vulnerability analysis, but none of them are as comprehensive as JFrog Xray. Xray works together with Artifactory performing Universal Component Analysis, to detect a variety of issues. By connecting to any external vulnerability provider, Xray alerts you to security vulnerabilities, performance issues, outdated versions, and in fact, any type of issue for which a data stream is available. By accessing the metadata in Artifactory, Xray provides radical transparency into your component architecture letting you understand how any component affects all others.

Artifactory takes its integration with JFrog Bintray to the next step with Distribution Repositories streaming liquid software from Artifactory to Bintray. Distribution repositories provide an easy way to move artifacts from Artifactory to Bintray, for distribution to end users. As opposed to other repositories in Artifactory, distribution repositories are not typed to a particular package format, but rather, are governed by a set of rules that give fine-grained control over how to specify exactly where an artifact in the distribution repository should be routed to in its corresponding repository in Bintray.

Filestore sharding gives you enormous flexibility in managing your storage; put your terabytes on one huge disk, or distribute them among many small disks. Ready to expand your storage? Just mount another disk or storage solution and Artifactory automatically rebalances your storage to maintain the configured redundancy with the new mount. Store your binaries with any level of redundancy using Artifactory’s filestore sharding. Redundant storage means there is no single-point-of-failure and you can recover from a disk malfunction with no downtime! A perfect partner for Artifactory HA. Don’t forget to optimize your filestore with a variety of read and write strategies that Artifactory offers. Filestore sharding is available with an Enterprise license.

Upload artifacts indefinitely to Google’s secure and highly available storage and let Artifactory manage them for you through full support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS). When used with Artifactory HA your whole system is highly available with no single-point-of-failure. Ready to start using GCS? Just configure an XML file and do a simple migration of your current filestore. GCS is available on Artifactory with an Enterprise license.    

How do you like them apples? Artifactory supports CocoaPods repositories for development on all Apple©  platforms including OS X, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Jenkins/Hudson, TeamCity and Bamboo

Stream your builds of liquid software into Artifactory from your favorite CI Server together with exhaustive build environment information captured during deployment to enable fully reproducible builds that continuously update computer systems and devices. Promote builds and use the build's Bill of Materials to view deployed modules with their published artifacts and dependencies in all scopes. See where specific artifacts are used and receive warnings when required build dependencies are removed. Link back to the build information in the CI server and vice versa. Currently, Jenkins, Hudson, JetBrains TeamCity and Atlassian Bamboo are supported.  

From smart bracelets, to activity monitors, to a variety of different sensing devices, the Internet of Things continues to permeate into our daily lives. All of these different electronic devices come with chips, many of which use embedded linux that runs Opkg packages. Between the different software versions for different chip architectures on the plethora of devices, one can only imagine the logistical headache of managing all the Opkg packages that an IoT company must contend with. Developing Opkg packages? Artifactory will help keep you sane.

Actively synchronize your repository content and metadata with remote Artifactory repositories using pull or push (inbound/outbound) replication.

Simultaneously replicate to several repositories at once with multi-push replication.

Schedule periodic rsync-like mirroring and maintain up-to-date replicas of repositories on remote sites using the administration UI or via Artifactory's REST API.

Do you use Git for source code control? So do many others. But what about the binary assets that go along with your source code? Git is not the best solution for that. “GitHub LFS,” you say? Well, there is a better solution still. Artifactory is a fully-fledged Git LFS (Large File Storage) repository and can optimize your workflow when working with large media files and other binary resources. Artifactory fully supports the Git LFS API, so all you need to do is configure your Git client to point to Artifactory as the Large File Storage repository.

Bintray’s integration with Artifactory lets you search for Artifacts in JCenter, provides detailed package information, and lets you push artifacts directly to Bintray. Together, Artifactory and Bintray offer the only end-to-end solution for a fully automated software delivery pipeline streaming liquid software out to computer systems and devices.

Vagrant has made “but it works on my machine” obsolete. At the same time, it has circumvented the “onboarding hell” that developers went through every time they joined a new team with its own specific environment. Now, all a developer has to do is type vagrant up with the right box, and start coding. Read about the benefits of using Artifactory as a local repository for Vagrant.

Distribute RPMs directly from your Artifactory server, acting as fully-featured RPM repository with auto-updating repository metadata.

S3 object storage is available with an Enterprise license.  

Artifactory, build tools, CI servers and your whole development ecosystem generates vast amounts of metadata. Artifactory gives you tools to search through that metadata, but much of it is an inaccessible gold mine. Enter Artifactory Query Language (AQL). AQL gives you unprecedented flexibility in how you search for artifacts. It offers a simple way to formulate complex queries that specify any number of search criteria, filters, sorting options and output fields. And as a RESTful API which uses data streaming to provide output data, it is extremely fast and efficient with unbeatable response time and low memory consumption, which goes on to improve your build times.

Watch selected artifacts, folders, or repositories for any event (add, delete, or modify), and receive focused email notifications on repository changes that are interesting to you.

Provision common settings and configuration to clients by turning any textual artifact into a dynamic template based on request parameters, current user identity and artifact properties.

Smart Search gives you the ability to search for, and accumulate a "shopping cart" of artifacts which you can later manipulate as a single group. Once you assemble search results from any type of search available in Artifactory, you can perform bulk operations on the all artifacts found such as promoting them to another repository, deleting them and more.

Annotate your artifacts and folders with fully-searchable properties.

Log in to Artifactory quickly and easily with the click of a button by delegating authentication requests to external providers. Artifactory lets administrators configure any number of OAuth providers based on Google, OpenID Connect, GitHub Enterprise, or Cloud Foundry UAA. By binding your Artifactory user account to any of the configured OAuth providers, you can remain logged in for repeated access to Artifactory without having to log in again.

Artifactory offers several layers of security and provides a variety of different authentication protocols you can work with including SSH. As a tried and tested technology, SSH offers a high degree of security by authenticating clients using public and private keys. As a best practise, Artifactory provides two levels of authentication with SSH. First, the actual client application is authenticated since the authenticating server must provide its public key to the client. Then, each specific user that wants to be authenticated by SSH must enter his public key on his profile page.

Integrate with your existing Atlassian Crowd server to delegate all authentication to Crowd. Reuse existing, HTTP-based. enterprise SSO integrations such as the powerful authentication schemes provided by the Apache HTTP server (mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_ntlm, mod_auth_kerb, etc.).

Synchronize your LDAP groups with Artifactory and leverage your existing organizational structure to manage group-based permissions.

Building with Maven? Easily configure your builds to resolve artifacts through Artifactory using the Maven Artifactory Plugin. All you need to do is modify properties in your Maven settings file, and Artifactory can even generate the file for you. By caching remote artifacts and dependencies needed, Artifactory optimizes your Maven builds and makes them more reliable. And thanks to exhaustive build information that Artifactory stores, you can faithfully reproduce a build at any time.

Artifactory provides a plugin for tight integration with Ivy. Through this plugin,  Ivy can be configured to resolve artifacts through Artifactory by modifying properties in the Ivy settings and module files and the Ant build file. And to make things really easy, Artifactory can even generate the corresponding files directly from its UI.

Using the MSBuild Artifactory Plugin, MSBuild can be configured to resolve dependencies and deploy build artifacts through Artifactory. Optimize and ensure reliable builds by reducing networking and caching remote artifacts locally. Through exhaustive build information that Artifactory generates, all build can be faithfully reproduced at any time.

Proxying remote repositories is great when we need release versions of external artifacts in order to proceed with our own development efforts, but when remote teams have to collaborate on the same project, or there are co-dependencies between different projects things get more complicated. It’s nearly impossible to keep all teams synched on the same snapshot version each time one is created. Replication could be a solution, but it’s not efficient to create all that network load when you don’t need a full repository sync. Artifactory’s Smart Remote Repositories come to the rescue allowing you to create a local proxy for a remote Artifactory repository.

Mission Control is a command and control center that gives you full control over all your Artifactory HA instances, and real-time visibility into how your organization develops, distributes and consumes software packages around the world.
