Nexus Repository

A single, secure space to store all your software components and AI models, helping you accelerate development, strengthen security and simplify management.

Nexus Repository

Nexus Repository on Clever Cloud provides a centralized and secure location for all your software artifacts and AI models.. It stores containers, packages, ML models and binaries in an organised hub, ensuring your teams always work with the correct versions.

It integrates easily with your DevOps tools to automate workflows, manage dependencies and track key build and release information.

With Clever Cloud handling hosting and operations, you benefit from faster delivery, more reliable builds and greater visibility across your entire software supply chain.

  2. 02

    02 Strengthens your software supply chain security

    By routing external downloads through Nexus, you control which components enter your systems. You can apply access rules, restrict certain packages or versions, and reduce risks linked to third-party dependencies.

  3. 03

    03 Improves governance, auditing and compliance

    Nexus Repository retains a full history of actions and publications. Releases become easier to trace, audit and validate.

  4. 04

    Local dependency caching makes builds and pipelines faster and more stable.
    The metadata stored in Nexus simplifies version tracking and streamlines release management.

  5. 05

    05 Manages AI/ML models as first-class artifacts

    Public or internal models can be stored, versioned and shared alongside your other artifacts, with consistent handling throughout your pipelines.

  6. 06

    06 Fits your teams and your environments

    Nexus Repository supports a wide range of formats (Maven, npm, PyPI, NuGet, Docker, Helm…). It adapts to large teams, complex projects and distributed environments.

What is an artifact repository?

An artifact repository is a single place to store all the elements required by your software: containers, packages, binaries and models.

It replaces multiple download sources with a single, reliable access point, speeding up builds and simplifying release tracking.

K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?

Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration. But depending on your infrastructure constraints (limited resources, edge computing, IoT, or large-scale enterprise clusters), the distribution you choose can radically change the operational experience. K3s and K8s (upstream Kubernetes) address different needs, even though both share the same CNCF-certified foundation.
