Summary

NuGet is an open-source package manager tailored for the Microsoft development platform, facilitating the management of DLL files with associated metadata. It integrates with JFrog Artifactory, which supports the application lifecycle from development to distribution, encompassing security and artifact management. After setting up a NuGet repository in Artifactory, developers can configure their builds to consume dependencies and publish packages to Artifactory, which also manages build metadata. Using JFrog CLI, exhaustive build information, including details about the build environment and dependencies, can be stored and published, providing enhanced traceability and visibility. Artifactory's BuildInfo feature allows for promoting builds, scanning for vulnerabilities with JFrog Xray, and viewing license violations, offering a higher level of abstraction in build pipeline management by focusing on entire builds rather than individual packages.
