Artifact Repository

The NVIDIA AI Factory for Government incorporates a dedicated artifact repository designed to handle software components, especially for on-premises setups that follow GitOps principles. This repository serves as a secure, version-controlled local hub for essential NVIDIA AI Enterprise artifacts, such as containerized NVIDIA NIM microservices, AI models, libraries, and tools. In the GitOps workflow, git maintains the declarative state by linking to specific versions of these NVIDIA artifacts stored in the repository. Then, the GitOps Controller fetches these verified artifacts for deployment onto the Kubernetes platform. For on-premises environments, managing local artifacts enables essential operational practices such as scanning NVIDIA containers and other artifacts for security vulnerabilities, ensuring reliable and rapid access without relying on public registries, managing dependencies, and assuring reproducible deployments using specific, approved versions of NIMs and AI models.
