Artifacts

• Artifacts
  • Share data between jobs and store data after workflows have completed
• vs cache

Artifacts	Caching	Use-case
Stored for up to 90 days	up to 7 days	files to be accessed outside the workflow(Build outputs,Test results,Logs)
Managed via two actions (upload-artifact,download-artifact)	Managed via a single action(cache)	files to be accessed within the workflow (Build dependencies)
