what is artifact

Storage of build artifacts produced by continuous integration and makes them available for automated deployment to different deployment environments
Provides a central location
Artifacts are applications built into a single file
There are different artifact formats:
Artifact repository needs to support this specific format
Repository for each file/artifact type

Can store many different artifact types
Which is great, because as a company you often produce different types of artifacts
Instead of having different repositories for each artifact type
Just 1 repository for managing all your different artifact types
