In a rapidly evolving digital environment, organizations across various sectors—including technology firms, financial services, and manufacturing—rely on effective management of software artifacts to secure their software supply chains The risk of supply chain attacks has intensified, revealing vulnerabilities at every stage of artifact management. Compliance breaches, data leaks, and unvetted code present serious threats, and Cloudsmith aimed to tackle these challenges head-on.

As software complexity advances, understanding what’s happening across every part of your software supply chain becomes crucial. You need to see where artifacts are used, how secure they are, and whether they meet compliance standards. The ability to capture this is known as observability. Observability goes beyond data collection to provide essential insights that help teams understand, troubleshoot, and enhance complex systems.

As containerized environments evolve, effective artifact management is crucial for any organization using Kubernetes or similar ecosystems. Cloudsmith’s container registry now fully complies with the Open Container Initiative (OCI) distribution specification, allowing customers to store, secure, and distribute images and artifacts with greater efficiency.

While overprovisioning Kubernetes workloads can provide stability during the launch of new products, it’s often only sustainable because large companies have substantial budgets and favorable deals with cloud providers. As highlighted in Datadog’s State of Cloud Costs report, cloud spending continues to grow, but a significant portion of that cost is often due to inefficiencies like overprovisioning.
