JFrog Artifactory
The universal artifact repository.
Overview
JFrog Artifactory is a universal artifact repository that supports all major packaging formats, build tools, and CI servers. In an Argo CD workflow, Artifactory serves as the trusted, single source of truth for all container images, Helm charts, and other artifacts that are deployed to Kubernetes. The CI pipeline pushes artifacts to Artifactory, and the manifests in Git that Argo CD uses will reference these versioned, immutable artifacts.
✨ Key Features
- Universal package support (Docker, Helm, Maven, npm, etc.)
- High availability and disaster recovery
- Security scanning with JFrog Xray
- Replication for multi-site development
- Rich metadata and search capabilities
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Truly universal support for a vast number of package types
- Mature enterprise features (HA, replication)
- Tight integration with other JFrog Platform tools (Xray, Pipelines)
Unique Value: Provides a single, secure, and reliable source of truth for all the binaries and packages that Argo CD deploys, which is a critical component of a robust GitOps workflow.
