Which service stores and shares packages for development teams, supporting npm, Maven, pip, and dotnet?

• A. AWS CodeArtifact
• B. AWS CodeBuild
• C. AWS CodePipeline
• D. AWS X-Ray

Answer: (A)

Storing and sharing development packages across teams is the job of a dedicated artifact repository. AWS CodeArtifact is a fully managed service designed for this, providing a centralized store for your software packages and supporting npm, Maven, pip, and dotnet. It lets teams publish private packages and consume others’ packages with fine-grained IAM-based access control, across accounts or organizations. You can create multiple repositories, configure upstream sources to pull from public registries, and integrate with CI/CD workflows so builds resolve dependencies reliably and quickly. This focus on package storage and distribution for multiple ecosystems is what makes CodeArtifact the right fit, while the other services are oriented toward building, orchestrating pipelines, or tracing rather than artifact management.
