Hybrid Manufacturing

Hybrid: JFrog SaaS with Manufacturing Sites

  • Manufacturing enterprises are made up of
    • One or more software development sites
    • One or more manufacturing sites
  • A firewall between all organization’s sites and the internet
  • Using the JFrog PrivateLink feature to connect the customer’s private cloud account to JFrog SaaS in the selected region
  • A central JFrog SaaS site used by all organizations in the company (can be multiple sites)
  • Software releases are pushed to JFrog SaaS
  • Manufacturing plants are running local Artifactory Edge (with Smart Remote Repositories) and pull the necessary software releases from JFrog SaaS as needed

JFrog Bridge

Typically, self-hosted sites are not accessible from JFrog SaaS due to network restrictions or firewall configurations. To enable secure, bi-directional connectivity for features like Distribution and Federation between SaaS and self-hosted sites, JFrog Bridge can be used.
