Which fully managed artifact repository supports language-native package managers such as npm, Maven, pip, and dotnet?

• A. AWS CodeArtifact
• B. AWS CodeBuild
• C. AWS CodeCommit
• D. AWS CodePipeline

Answer: (A)

A fully managed artifact repository that supports language-native package managers such as npm, Maven, pip, and dotnet is best served by AWS CodeArtifact. This service acts as a central, scalable store for packages and build artifacts, allowing you to publish, version, and share packages across teams. It integrates with common package managers—npm for JavaScript, Maven for Java, pip for Python, and NuGet for .NET—so you can pull dependencies directly from the repository during builds. Being fully managed, it handles hosting, scaling, and access control, reducing operational overhead.

The other services aren’t artifact repositories: CodeBuild is a build service that can fetch dependencies during builds but does not serve as a central package store; CodeCommit is a Git-based source code repository; CodePipeline orchestrates CI/CD workflows. So CodeArtifact is the correct choice for a language-native package manager–backed artifact repository.
