The following topics may be of interest for those who work with remote repositories.
Smart Remote Repositories
A special type of remote repository is a Smart Remote repository, which proxies a local, remote, or Federated repository from another Artifactory instance or Edge node. In addition to the benefits of remote repositories described above, Smart Remote repositories offer several additional benefits, including:
Remote download statistics
Synchronized properties
Remote repository browsing
Source absence detection
For more details, see Smart Remote Repositories.
Virtual Repositories
Another feature of Artifactory that benefits developers and DevOps engineers alike is virtual repositories. This is a collection of local and remote repositories (and even other virtual repositories) that are accessed through a single logical URL. For more information, see Virtual Repositories.
