Release Bundle Repositories

The Release Bundle repository protects your artifacts as part of the distribution flow. Artifacts that have been created and signed are automatically copied and saved into this separate repository where their contents cannot be edited or removed. This ensures consistency of distribution among target instances.

Even if the original artifacts are removed from the original repository, they will continue to stay in the release bundle repository, available for distribution. These Release Bundles are created and managed in the Distributing Release Bundles page, and generally distributed from a source Artifactory instance to JFrog Artifactory Edge nodes.

Release Bundles are stored with the following naming convention: {bundle name}/{bundle version}/{target path}

Create a Release Bundle v1 Repository

The release-bundles repository is automatically created and used by default. However, you can create additional repositories with their own naming conventions that can also be used for distributing Release Bundles v1.

To create a Release Bundle v1 repository:

1. In the Administration module, go to Repositories.

2. Click Create a Repository.

3. Select Release Bundle from the list.
