Main Site with Edges
Main Site with Edges
- A fully managed central JFrog Platform SaaS site
- One or more JFrog Artifactory Edge self-hosted or JFrog SaaS sites
- Packages are distributed from the main site to edge sites using release bundles, or accessed via Smart Remote repositories that proxy and cache repositories from the main site at the edge sites.
- Packages in the edges are read only (immutable), and consumed by the edge sites’ clients
- Ideal for scenarios where software packages are developed and pushed to a main site, then need to be consumed at remote locations—such as by other organizational teams, customers, or vendors.
Limitations
Artifactory Edge comes with limited capabilities. Review the Edge Node Features and Capabilities to understand them better.
