IBM Cloud offers a robust platform for DevOps with tools like IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS), providing an ideal environment for cloud-native development. By integrating JFrog Artifactory, developers can enhance their DevOps strategy with greater control and visibility over software components, ensuring compliance and security throughout the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. Artifactory's High Availability (HA) setup on IBM Cloud ensures high reliability and zero downtime through a cluster of multiple nodes, with the configuration supported by IBM's block storage plugin. The setup process involves creating a Kubernetes cluster, installing necessary storage plugins, and deploying Artifactory using Helm charts. Once installed, Artifactory seamlessly integrates into the DevOps pipeline, offering features like Kubernetes registries, proxy creation for package managers, and build integrations, ultimately enabling a secure and efficient path from code to deployment on IKS clusters.
