About This Architecture

JFrog Artifactory centralizes artifact management across Docker images, binaries, and packages through a unified registry architecture. CI pipelines, build agents, and developer machines push artifacts to specialized repositories—UI Registry for containerized workloads and Generic Repository for binaries—while the Artifactory Core Service orchestrates storage and distribution. This hub-and-spoke pattern eliminates artifact sprawl, enforces versioning policies, and enables consistent deployments to downstream services. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to document your artifact governance strategy, then export as .drawio or .svg for team wikis and runbooks.

How does JFrog Artifactory organize and distribute Docker images and binaries across CI/CD pipelines and services?

JFrog Artifactory uses a centralized hub model with specialized repositories: the UI Registry Repository handles Docker images for containerized services, while the Generic Repository manages binaries and packages. The Artifactory Core Service orchestrates storage and routes artifacts from CI pipelines and build agents to downstream consumers like Services A–D and external distribution endpoints.
