Description: The Artifact Manager in Jenkins is a tool or plugin that facilitates the management of the storage and retrieval of artifacts generated during the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) process. Artifacts are files produced by the software build process, such as binaries, libraries, configuration files, and other resources necessary for application deployment. This manager allows developers and DevOps teams to efficiently store, version, and retrieve these artifacts, ensuring that the correct versions are used at each stage of the development lifecycle. Its main features include integration with various storage systems, the ability to define retention policies, and the capability to perform advanced searches for artifacts. Its relevance lies in the need to maintain strict control over generated artifacts, contributing to the stability and reproducibility of applications in production environments.
