Conan is a free, open-source, and decentralized package manager for C and C++ developers. It allows you to manage project dependencies and distribute compiled binaries, making it easier to build and share your projects on any operating system. Integrating Conan with Artifactory provides a robust, scalable, and secure solution for managing your C/C++ packages, offering fine-grained access control and a centralized, reliable source for your binaries. For more information, see the Conan documentation.
Artifactory fully supports Conan repositories, including the following capabilities:
Unified Repository Management: Consolidate all your C/C++ packages by using Conan repositories in Artifactory as a single source of truth. Set up secure local repositories, access cached versions of remote registries, and create a single access point for all sources with virtual repositories.
Automated Package Layout: Artifactory automatically handles the layout and storage of your C/C++ packages for all platforms configured in the Conan client, simplifying multi-platform development.
Robust Access Control: Secure your repositories with fine-grained permissions based on projects or development teams, ensuring only authorized users can access or publish packages.
Enterprise Readiness: Scale your C/C++ development with enterprise-grade features like high availability, multi-site repository replication, and massively scalable storage options to support global teams and large-scale projects.
