Artefakter er output'ene fra build-processen (kompilerede binærer, pakker, Docker-images) som bliver deployed. Artefaktadministration — lagring, versionering og promovering af disse artefakter gennem et register/repository — er vigtig for pålidelige, sporbare deployments.
Hvad artefakter er
The BUILD produces ARTIFACTS — the deployable outputs:
→ Docker IMAGES, compiled binaries, JARs/WARs, npm packages, zip bundles, etc.
→ These are what actually get DEPLOYED (not the source code directly).
Artefaktrepositories/registre
Artifacts are stored in REPOSITORIES/REGISTRIES (versioned, central storage):
→ Container registries: Docker Hub, AWS ECR, GitHub/GitLab Container Registry
→ Package repositories: npm registry, Maven, PyPI, Artifactory, Nexus
→ The pipeline BUILDS an artifact, PUSHES it to the registry, and DEPLOYS from there.
