Azure Artifacts enables developers to share their code efficiently and manage all their packages from one place. With Azure Artifacts, developers can publish packages to their feeds and share it within the same team, across organizations, and even publicly. Developers can also consume packages from different feeds and public registries such as NuGet.org or npmjs.com. Azure Artifacts supports multiple package types such as NuGet, npm, Python, Maven, and Universal Packages.
-
An Azure DevOps organization and a project. Create an organization or a project if you haven't already.
-
Allow domain URLs and IP addresses if your organization is using a firewall or a proxy server.
Note
If you anticipate using more than the provided 2-GiB storage, it is recommended to set up billing for your organization.

Azure Artifacts is free for every organization up to 2 GiB of storage. Once you reach the maximum storage limit, you can no longer upload new artifacts and need to delete some of your existing artifacts or set up billing to increase your storage limit. See the Pricing Calculator to learn more about Azure DevOps billing.
Follow the steps outlined below to view your billing settings for your organization:
-
Sign in to your Azure DevOps organization.
-
Select
Organization settings, and then select Billing. -
View your Artifacts tier and usage limit.
:::image type="content" source="media/organization-billing-artifacts.png" alt-text="A screenshot showing Artifacts tier and usage limit.":::
A: You get billed for all package types (npm, NuGet, Python, Maven, and Universal Packages) including packages stored from upstream sources. However, you don't get billed for Pipeline Artifacts, and Pipeline Caching.
Note
Packages in the recycle bin still count as part of your storage consumption. Those packages get deleted permanently after 30 days. If you want to delete them sooner, navigate to your recycle bin and delete them manually.
A: 1 GiB is currently our lowest granularity, so you most likely haven't reached 1 GiB yet.
A: You can set up the retention policies to delete packages automatically. For more information, see How to use retention policies to delete old packages.
A: See Delete and recover packages for details.
A: Deletion of artifacts doesn't register immediately. Storage consumption should be updated within 24 hours, but in some cases it may take up to 48 hours. If you're blocked from uploading Artifacts, as a workaround you can temporarily increase your usage level, then reduce the level back once the storage metrics are updated.
The used column on the Billing page of your Organization gets updated once a day. When you delete an Artifact, it may not reflect immediately on your billing page. The Artifact Storage page however gets updated more frequently, so you may see a small discrepancy between the two pages.
:::image type="content" source="media/settings-vs-storage.png" alt-text="Artifacts billing settings vs Artifacts storage data":::
A: When you remove your Azure Subscription from your Azure DevOps organization, you only have access to the free tier. If you used more than 2 GiB of storage, you can only read packages. You can't publish new packages until you lower your storage below 2 GiB. Or, you can reconnect an Azure subscription to your organization and set up billing to increase your storage tier.
