Artifactory 7.29.7 Cloud | Self-Hosted

New Hybrid Solution Provided through the Distribution Edges

Self-hosted customers who have an existing JFrog Distribution in place may sometimes require the option of adding additional JFrog Artifactory instances in the cloud. This hybrid setup is now supported through the JFrog Distribution Edges Add-on, a commercial offering for On-Prem customers to leverage JFrog SaaS for software distribution. This add-on enables On-Prem customers toadd cloud-based Edge nodes managed by JFrog (software-as-a-service) and fully utilize them for content distribution. See Configuring Distribution Edges Using the Distribution Edges Add-on.Hybrid Distribution from JFrog Platform Self-Hosted

New Integration for JFrog Artifactory with Amazon's Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS) Anywhere

Amazon's Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS) Anywhere is a new deployment option for Amazon EKS, which allows customers to create and operate Kubernetes clusters on customer-managed infrastructure, supported by AWS. Unlike the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, which uses a Docker image, the deployment of JFrog Artifactory on Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS), EKS Anywhere uses Helm Charts to leverage the AWS License Manager.

Support for Personal OAuth SSO

JFrog Cloud users (only) can now also join through an invite, and to then log in using Personal OAuth such as Google or GitHub. For more information, see Adding New Users via Invite.Introduction to Users and Groups

Master.key Load and Retention in Memory

To improve security around the storage of the master.key, from Artifactory version 7.29.7 JFrog supports loading the master.key at startup and keeping it in memory. This is achieved by removing the master key from the file system by each application, after it was read by the application node during bootstrapping. Customers who wishing to utilize this capability will need to "opt-in" to the master key removal, to fetch the master key and to place it in the correct path on the application's file system whenever a new node is bootstrapped. See Master.key Load and Retention in Memory.Access YAML Configuration

Garbage Collection Performance Improvements

Improved Garbage collection performance by implementing changes to the internal garbage collection batch mechanism.

New Pairing Token UI and API

Added new UI in the JFrog Platform for a pairing token, which establishes trust between different JFrog micro services. The pairing token is an access token that is used for the initial pairing flow. Because the token is a limited access token, it is dedicated to a specific task and short-lived. Once trust is established, the services can continue using the standard token-based authentication for communication. Pairing tokens replace the join.key that was used in the past in the JFrog Platform to link between services. This type of token is only designed to link cross-topologies (i.e., locally, and not with in a JPD). See Generating Scoped and Pairing Tokens.Generate Scoped Tokens

NuGet Repository Improvements

As part of the NuGet package improvement initiative, we have added the ability to resolve cached artifacts from remote NuGet repositories in case the remote repository is down.

Hiding Artifactory Version in the UI is Supported

The Artifactory version in the UI can be hidden by setting the artifactory.standalone.show.detailed.footer=false to the var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.system.properties file.

This feature is applicable only to Artifactory Self-hosted instances.
