Artifacts in Azure Pipelines - overview

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015

Azure Artifacts enable developers to consume and publish different types of packages to Artifacts feeds and public registries such as NuGet.org and npmjs.com. You can use Azure Artifacts in conjunction with Azure Pipelines to deploy packages, publish build artifacts, or integrate files between your pipeline stages to build, test, or deploy your application.

Supported artifact types

Artifact type	Description
Build artifacts	The files generated by a build. Example: .dll, .exe, or .PDB files.
NuGet	Publish NuGet packages to Azure Artifacts feeds or public registries such as nuget.org.
npm	Publish npm packages to Azure Artifacts feeds or public registries such as nmpjs.com.
Maven	Publish Maven packages to Azure Artifacts feeds.
PyPI	Publish Python packages to Azure Artifacts feeds or PyPI.org.
Universal packages	Publish Universal Packages to Azure Artifacts feeds.
Symbols	Symbol files contain debugging information about the compiled executables. You can publish symbols to Azure Artifacts symbol server or to a file share.
