Artifact Management
Arbitrary metadata
Early Access
Arbitrary metadata is currently available in early access for Ultra and Enterprise customers. To request early access, contact us.
You can attach arbitrary key-value metadata to any package in Cloudsmith, making it possible to store structured contextual data directly alongside the artifact it describes. Enriching packages with contextual data such as build information, provenance, or security data helps you to make data-driven decisions across your workflows.
How key-value metadata works
With the Cloudsmith API and CLI, you can upload any key-value data that makes sense for your workflow.
Currently supported functionality for the API, CLI, and web app:
| Add | Update | Delete | View | Package search filter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| API | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| CLI | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Web app | ✓ | ✓ |
Note
The web app currently only supports viewing existing package metadata and using metadata filters in package search.
