Artifact Storage
Store and version artifacts
Medium
Overview
Central registry for storing versioned artifacts. Immutable, tagged, and accessible to deployment systems.
Why It Matters
Know what you shipped. Full audit trail. Roll back to any previous version.
The Risk
Without artifact storage, you lose deployment history. When rollback is needed, there's nothing to roll back to. Compliance audits can't verify what was deployed when.
Implementation Components
A complete implementation of this capability includes:
- Central registry for artifacts (container images, packages)
- Immutable storage - artifacts never change after push
- Authentication and access control
- Retention policies (keep N recent, or by age)
- Registry backup and disaster recovery
- Integration with deployment systems
Implementation Pattern
- 1Choose registry type
- 2Configure authentication
- 3Set retention policies
- 4Back up registry data
