JFrog, in collaboration with Google, is offering JFrog Artifactory Cloud hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) at no charge for qualified open source projects, expanding its cloud hosting options beyond AWS to include GCP. This initiative provides significant benefits to customers by allowing them to choose between two leading cloud platforms and enabling those already using Google Cloud services to co-locate their repositories with the same provider. The initiative also supports the open-source community by offering free access to JFrog Artifactory Cloud accounts on GCP, benefiting projects such as Groovy, Spring, and Grails with comprehensive features and scalability. For JFrog, this move aligns with their universal ethos by broadening customer choice and enriching their cloud service expertise through the integration with GCP's infrastructure, with detailed insights available in a guest post on Google's blog.
