What is an artifact bundle?
Artifact bundle overview
An artifact bundle is a collection of artifacts that may make up a specific use case, for example, an NE backup, which may involve few artifacts, or a complex service rollout use case that involves many artifacts.
Artifacts are packaged for download as bundles, in zip format. When you import an artifact bundle from local storage to Artifacts and install it, the artifacts are installed by the dedicated deployers for the artifact type; for example, the Network Intents deployer installs intent type artifacts. After installation, the artifacts appear in the Artifacts, All Artifacts view.
Artifacts that were not installed from the Artifact Bundles view, such as adaptors, are not displayed in the All Artifacts view. You can list the installed adaptors using the ./adaptor-suite.bash --list command; see “How do I install adaptor artifacts that are not supported in the Artifacts view?” in the NSP System Administrator Guide.
