Summary

Helm users now have the advantage of JFrog Artifactory's support for Helm OCI registries, which enhances performance and efficiency by utilizing OCI APIs instead of relying on large repository index files. Artifactory provides users with the choice between creating traditional "legacy Helm" repositories or the more modern Helm OCI repositories, complete with tailored setup instructions for each. The platform's unified package search allows users to query both types of repositories easily while offering the flexibility to segment searches by repository type. Although it's possible to upload Helm OCI to existing OCI repositories, this approach lacks the organizational clarity and dedicated features offered by Artifactory's Helm OCI support. Artifactory defaults to Helm OCI for new repositories but allows for customization to display legacy Helm as the primary option. Users interested in exploring these features further can access detailed documentation or sign up for a free trial.
