The JFrog Cold Artifact Storage is an archiving solution, which enables you to move artifacts that are not in use - from one Artifactory instance to another Artifactory instance that is connected to cost-effective storage. As such, Cold Artifact Storage provides customers with the ability to retain artifacts that are not in use, but cannot be deleted for several years due to regulatory obligations.
Before setting up Cold Artifact Storage, we need to verify that the following prerequisites are in place:
- Two Artifactory instances with unique Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licenses
- The two Artifactory instances - Live and Cold - do not have to be the same version.
- Administrator access to both instances
- The Artifactory instance that is set as the Live Artifactory instance must have the Mission Control microservice enabled
