- Artifact Registry
Connector repositories act as proxies for upstream sources. All requests to the repository are proxied to the upstream source and no artifacts are cached in Artifact Registry. This configuration allows for full auditability of upstream sources and supports cases where third-party policies prevent artifact caching. For more information, see Connector repositories overview .
