Using a simplification, an artifact is any kind of file or files that your build produces, or that you may want to reuse in another build, another job of your build, or a deployment or release pipeline.įor example, the compiled DLLs that you have as result of your CI can be stored in an artifact to be then deployed by another job. But first, we need to understand what an artifact is, at least in the context of Azure DevOps. So, what are the differences? We will go through them one by one, see what they are used for, and at the end we’ll have a quick recap and some recommendations on what to use when. Let’s dive into it.Īs usual, if you are a visual learner, or simply prefer to watch and listen instead of reading, here you have the video with the whole explanation and demo, which to be fair is much more complete than this post. but today we are going to answer these questions once and for all. And in fact I’ve received many comments and questions about them on my videos about Azure Pipelines. With Azure DevOps using similar names for different things, there is quite some confusion between them. What are the differences between Build Artifacts and Pipelines Artifacts in Azure Pipelines, and how do they compare to Azure Artifact?
