Description: Artifact versioning in the context of CI/CD refers to the practice of managing different versions of artifacts generated during the continuous integration and continuous delivery process. Artifacts are files or products generated as a result of building a project, which can include binaries, libraries, container images, documentation, among others. This version management allows development teams to maintain strict control over the various iterations of their products, facilitating the identification of changes, recovery of previous versions, and collaboration among different team members. Additionally, artifact versioning is crucial for ensuring traceability and reproducibility of builds, which is especially important in production environments where stability and reliability are essential. CI/CD tools provide capabilities that allow developers to automate the versioning process, integrating practices such as version tagging and change logs, contributing to a more efficient and organized management of the software lifecycle.
