Create an artifact
Before you begin
To create an artifact, you must have the following assets available:
A payload file that contains the actual content of the update:
A payload file can contain data, code, or instructions that are delivered or executed as part of a software package.
Often, a payload file contains binary diffs, binary scripts, application binaries, system images, or configuration files.
As you create an artifact, a manifest is automatically created based on the configuration of the artifact.
A manifest provides metadata to complement the payload. It must contain the following data points:
Manifest version
Artifact name
Artifact version
Artifact description
Artifact type
Artifact handling actions such as pre-install, install, post-install, or rollback
Matching device attributes, firmware, and OS platform
A checksum (SHA256) or a signature corresponding to the artifact.
