by Shriira Press

4.6(480)168 pagesPublished 2026

Artifact Hub is the web-based home for finding, installing, and publishing cloud-native packages — one searchable catalog across the fragmented ecosystem. This free book teaches it from the ground up: the discovery problem in cloud-native (finding, evaluating, and trusting packages), how Artifact Hub works (indexing repositories, not hosting packages), the breadth of package types it covers (Helm charts, operators, OPA/Kyverno policies, Falco rules, KEDA scalers, Tekton tasks, plugins, and more), discovering and evaluating packages with search and rich detail pages, publishing by registering repositories, the security and trust features (vulnerability scanning, signatures/provenance, verified publishers), Helm charts as its flagship use, integration with the ecosystem and its API, and using and self-hosting Artifact Hub. Ten focused chapters with clear diagrams that show how it turns a fragmented ecosystem into a navigable, trustworthy catalog.
