Overview
JFrog Distribution is an on-premise, centralized platform that lets you provision software release distribution. It is a core part of
JFrog Enterprise+, managing Release Bundles and their distribution processes, including release content, permission levels, and target destinations.
Distribution provides a secure and structured platform to distribute release binaries to multiple remote locations and update them as new release versions are produced. As part of the release flow, release bundles are verified by the source destination to ensure that they are signed correctly and safe to use.
JFrog Distribution securely manages the distribution of your software releases offering the following benefits:
Structured platform to distribute release binaries as a single coherent release bundle
Secure delivery and distribution by signing the release bundle
Efficient network utilization by optimizing replication, dramatically reducing network load and release bundle synchronization time from source Artifactory to target instance or Edge node.
Auditing and traceability by tracking all changes associated with a release bundle
