Dependency management

Dependency Management is the dependency on other components not written or owned by you.

  • standardization
  • package formats
  • versioning

Package Management

Distributed pieces of the software that aren't maintained by your OR, maintained by you for other projects. This will be an Artifact.

Package feeds store these Artifacts. Package feed managers allow access to these feeds and how to consume or publish your artifacts.

Azure Artifacts are used to create private and public package feeds for package types.
