Adobe Cloud Manager & 3rd party packages

[melanielepage]

Hello,

We are currently looking into the integration of our development tools and Adobe Cloud Manager, specifically to integrate 3rd party packages that are NOT available through public repositories. After checking the documentation, it seems there are 2 options :

• Integrate with a private password protected maven repository
  • This approach currently raises security concerns
  • The preferred integration pattern would be OIDC
• Use the file based local repository
  • According to this explanation, we can basically store the artifacts in our GIT repo so that they are retrieved as any other code source and then used as a dependency
  • This is not a my preferred option but we'll do it if we have to

Am I listing all possible options here ? Are there any other possibilities ? We also scanned through the API doc but did not find anything to push artifacts into Cloud Manager. 

Thanks in advance for your answer !

Hi @melanielepage those are two options we can have..

Hello @Shashi_Mulugu,

The answer provides more of the same but does not an explicit yes or no, which is what I was after. We looked into various possibilities, as far as Adobe I/O (used by cloud manager for the CLI) or the App Builder. Overall, the answer is: 

password protected repo or file based local repository are the only options

This is surprising considering Adobe IO seems to offer the possibility for package upload for example. Why is this not extended to Cloud Manager ? I opened a feature request to offer the possibility to upload an artifact as part of the Cloud Manager APIs.
