Types of Artifacts

While an artifact can reference any remote, deployable resource, we have first-class support for in the form of:

• Parsing events from other services. For example, reading pub/sub messages from GCR images.

• Credentials for downloading artifacts. For example, a GitHub access token to read repository contents.

• Integrations with stages that require certain types of artifacts. For example, App Engine can only deploy a Docker image as a custom runtime, never an AMI.

The pages in this section serve to document the format Spinnaker expects these artifacts in, to make custom integrations with them easier. We recommend reading the artifact format first.
