Azure Artifacts overview

[!INCLUDE version-lt-eq-azure-devops]

Azure Artifacts enables developers to efficiently manage all their dependencies from one place. With Azure Artifacts, developers can publish packages to their feeds and share them within their team, across organizations, and even publicly across the internet. Azure Artifacts also allows developers to consume packages from different feeds and public registries such as NuGet.org or npmjs.com. Azure Artifacts supports the following package types: NuGet, npm, Python, Maven, Cargo, and Universal Packages.

Prerequisites

Note

If you expect to exceed the allocated 2-GiB storage, it is recommended to set up billing for your organization.

Artifacts free tier and upgrade

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:

FAQs

Q: Which artifacts count toward my total billed storage?

A: You get billed for all package types (npm, NuGet, Python, Maven, Cargo, 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.

Q: How can I control how many days Artifacts are kept?

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.

Q: How can I delete specific packages?

A: See Delete and recover packages for more details.

::: moniker range="azure-devops"

Q: What happens if I remove my Azure Subscription from my Azure DevOps organization?

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.

Q: I'm storing Artifacts but my storage consumption shows 0 GiB?

A: 1 GiB is currently our lowest granularity, so you most likely haven't reached 1 GiB yet.

Q: How long does it take for deleted Artifacts to reflect in the amount of billed storage?

A: Deletion of artifacts doesn't register immediately. Storage consumption should be updated within 24 hours, but in some cases it might 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 might not be reflected immediately on your billing page. The Artifact Storage page however gets updated more frequently, so you might see a small discrepancy between the two pages.
