Why does Deployment Manager require the use of a repository manager?
Deployment Manager requires the use of a repository manager to publish and store application artifacts (product rule archives). There are a few reasons why having a dedicated application artifact repository manager is important.
- Providing stable and reliable access to repositories
- Repository tools such as JFrog Artifactory can be configured to be highly available
- No single point of failure
- Accommodate large load burts
- Supporting a large number of common binaries across different environments
- Scales with the number of binaries
- Manages them across all the different environments without creating multiple copies
- Security and access control
- Implement a security policy that prevents un-validated applications from leaking out to production
- Artifactory provides capabilities such as virtual repositories
- Integration with LDAP, SAML etc
- Complete logging - Tracing any action done to a file back to the user
- Transferring a large number of binaries to a remote location
- Managing infrastructure configuration across different environments
