Working with upstream repositories in CodeArtifact
A repository can have other AWS CodeArtifact repositories as upstream repositories. This enables a package manager client to access the packages that are contained in more than one repository using a single repository endpoint. You can set upstream repositories using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS CodeArtifact API.
If an upstream repository has an external connection to a public repository, the
repositories that are downstream from it can pull packages from that public repository.
For
example, suppose that the repository my_repo has an upstream repository named
upstream, and upstream has an external connection to a public npm
repository. In this case, a package manager that is connected to my_repo can pull
packages from the npm public repository.
You can add one or more upstream repositories to an AWS CodeArtifact repository using
the
AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDK. To associate a repository with an upstream
repository, you must have
permission for the AssociateWithDownstreamRepository action on the upstream
repository.
