Artifact history is split across project registries while release approvals remain deliberately unchanged.
The customer needs one traceable artifact view, and security needs private access and existing approval evidence preserved.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I spent half an hour chasing one container yesterday, and the release board was waiting on me.”
Aitana Santoro · Release Manager
Leads approval reviews for regulated services using separate project registries.
What is at stake
Reviewers cannot quickly connect a container to the pipeline that produced it across separate registries. You have to weigh a reusable Artifact Central pattern against private-network and approval constraints.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- organization-level traceability vs private-network boundaries
- faster reviewer lookup vs unchanged release approvals
- reusable connector design vs customer-specific controls
- pilot speed vs customer-operated handover
Why Gitlab
Artifact Central gives the integrated source control and CI/CD surface a path to connect build identity with organization-level artifact management.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
