Get Your Own Private Helm Repository

Take control of geographic edge caching for your assets. With Edge Caching Rules, you're in control of how long assets stay close to your users, all across the world. Known as the Time-To-Live (TTL) expiry. Edge cached assets will be immediately available for use with minimal time required to fetch them. Reduced latency, better throughput, high availability.

We pride ourselves as a top-tier managed service, and will always work to ensure continuity of service for you. With a guaranteed SLA of 99.5% we'll take additional measures to ensure that your account is maintained as a matter of priority, especially following unplanned downtime.

Get detailed insight into all actions and events across your account, and get them in an auditable and exportable format. If you have strict requriements around regulation, compliance, and/or security, audit trails will ensure you have ultimate insight into how your account changes over time.

Got Slack? Cloudsmith utilises Slack for all of its internal team communication. With the inter-Slack workspace, we will give you a dedicated channel between our Slack instance and yours, for the ultimate in contact with our team. We'll be on-hand to provide support when you need us, as if we were a part of your organisation.

Achieving understanding of how software is licensed and used isn't simple or easy. With license governance Cloudsmith will provide you with insight on licenses across all of your software, and how you use them. You will also be able to set controls on which licenses are permitted, in order to minimise your legal liability for incorrect use.

Basic entitlements allow you to control who has read-only access to your repositories, to download packages and assets. If you need more than just read-only access, then advanced entitlements can enable dynamic provisioning of access, plus restriction by search and time.

Like basic access logs, advanced access logs allow you to keep track of where and when your packages and assets are being download from. In addition to that, advanced access logs also offer you extended detail on where the access happened, by whom and why. You'll also have access to programatically retrieve the logs for your own processing tools.

Malware scanning on every package at the point of upload helps to ensure that your ecosystem is free from malware and other potentially unsafe constructs. Watch this space for additional vulnerability management.

Private/internal repositories limit package access to authorised clients and users, without sharing packages to the world. If you need internal software distribution mechanics, or if you want to support license-based software distribution, then private repositories facilitates these.

Collaborate securely with other users in an organisation with no per-seat pricing - In other words, there is no limit to amount of users/seats within an organisation (and no limit to number or size of teams).

Track advanced usage of your repositories with detailed usage statistics/metrics. If you need to supplement the builtin views we also offer an API to programmatically access statistics so that you can build your own (soon).

Although Cloudsmith takes care of all your storage and distribution needs, sometimes it pays to have an offline or secondary Cloud backup of your entire package portfolio. With drop copy, we'll synchronise the raw content for all of your repositories to a target destination of your choice.

The priority upload queue has higher precedence than the non-priority upload queues, and more processing power. When on the priority upload queue your packages will be processed quicker, and will have priority over other packages.

Use your own custom signing (GPG/RSA) keys for packages, to assert ownership and traceability. If you don't have one, don't worry, we'll generate a per-repository signing key for you.

Restrict or grant access to your packages based on geographical location, IP ranges or specific IP addresses. If you need to add physical location security to your package management, then Geo/IP Restriction is what you need.

All packages are distributed around the world by a blazing fast global Content Delivery Network (CDN). Let us take off the pressure of having to manage and maintain Enterprise-level software distribution.

Add granular access controls to your repositories and packages to give appropriate access to collaborators or teams within your organization. Need read-only access for junior developers or one single repository for contractors?

Security is paramount at Cloudsmith, and we take pride in taking every precaution to secure the service. All communication and storage is encrypted in-transit and at-rest (with 256-bit or hardware-based encryption). Checksums and GPG signatures are provided to detect tampering. For increased trust you can also provide your own GPG key for signing.

Invoice-based billing allows you to pay for your Cloudsmith account as an invoice rather than via debit/credit cards. This is a convenient option for larger organisations or where there are strict requirements in how vendors are paid. It also tends to be much cheaper than other payment methods.

Raw/generic file repositories allow you to upload/store and distribute any kind of file, with the same level of access control and features as any other managed repository.

For regulatory and compliance reasons you may wish to store your packages in a specific country or region. Custom storage regions allow you to choose where in the world your packages will be stored, helping you to meet any compliance requirements you may have. Storing your packages closer to where your services and teams operate can also provide significant performance benefits (lower latency) in many cases.

Webhooks instruct Cloudsmith to contact your application, or integration when events happen, such as new packages being added. Build complex automated CI/CD pipelines in order to accelerate your DevOps practices.

Access your packages and APIs via custom named domains, specified by you. If your company brand and trust is important to you and your customers, custom domains will allow you to present your own company as the endpoint for distribution, APIs and configuration (e.g. retrieving GPG keys). If you're a vendor, you'll likely want this when distributing.

Management and on-boarding of users for your team can be problematic, especially when working at scale. With SSO you'll be able to link Cloudsmith to an external authentication service, for automatic provisioning of users. In other words, you can user your existing directory services to manage your Cloudsmith organisation.

Drill down into the essential access logs for your packages. So now you can keep track of where and when your packages and assets are being downloaded from. For even more detail, we also offer advanced access logs, which provide additional detail (who, here and why), in addition to providing programmatic access to logs.

For legal or compliance reasons you can enforce users to agree to your custom End-User License Agreement (EULA) before they can download your packages. This is especially useful if you're a vendor or would like to disclaim warranties prior to usage.

With upstream proxying we'll cache upstream packages for you, for convenient access from Cloudsmith. You can reduce the amount of external repositories you depend on, and you can protect your software and servers from downtime and slowness of official main repositories.

Like basic entitlements, advanced entitlements allow you to control who has read-only access to your repositories, to download packages and assets. However, you can also limit what access an entitlement has by search, or you can limit how long a token is valid for by time. As a vendor, you can power your license-based distribution with tokens that are dynamically created via the API, based on your customer needs.
