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. You can obtain bundles from the Nokia NSP software download site and, in most cases, install them from the NSP Artifact Bundles view.

Artifacts are read-only in the NSP UI. You perform operations on artifact bundles, and the NSP manages the artifacts in the bundle accordingly.

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 installed using legacy scripts are not displayed in the All Artifacts view.
