DevOps / Bamboo: Continuous Integration & Deployment Interview Questions
What are artifacts in a Bamboo build?
An artifact is any file (or set of files) that a job produces and marks for reuse — a compiled JAR, a Docker image tag file, a test report, or an installer package. Once defined, Bamboo stores that file so it can be downloaded, inspected, or passed forward to later stages or to a deployment project.
Artifacts are what actually connects a build plan to a deployment project: the deployment project doesn't rebuild the code, it takes the artifact the plan already produced and ships that exact, already-tested file to an environment.
