The Cold Storage archiving solution is comprised of three main components:
Live Artifactory instance
Live Artifactory is a standard Artifactory instance from which artifacts or packages will be archived.
Cold Artifactory instance
Cold Artifactory is a stripped-down, limited-functionality version of an Artifactory instance that is used for archiving purposes. The Cold instance is implemented as a dedicated Artifactory instance, connected to a binary storage provider (such as AWS Glacier).
