Module 1: Introduction to Artifact Management and Nexus

• Artifact management concepts: why organisations need a repository manager
• Sonatype Nexus Repository overview: OSS and Pro editions
• Nexus architecture: repositories, blob stores, and routing rules
• Installing Nexus Repository Manager with Docker and standalone

Module 2: Repository Types and Formats

• Repository types: hosted, proxy, and group repositories
• Supported formats: Maven, npm, PyPI, Docker, NuGet, and Helm
• Hosted repositories: storing proprietary and internal artefacts
• Proxy repositories: caching remote registries like Maven Central

Module 3: Maven and Java Artifact Management

• Configuring Maven settings.xml for Nexus integration
• Deploying JAR, WAR, and POM artefacts to Nexus hosted repos
• Maven proxy repository for offline builds and bandwidth optimisation
• Maven group repository: unified endpoint for all Maven dependencies

Module 4: npm, PyPI, and Docker Registries

• Nexus as a private npm registry: publish and install packages
• PyPI proxy and hosted repository for Python dependency management
• Nexus Docker Registry: push, pull, and manage container images
• Helm chart repository for Kubernetes package management

Module 5: Security and Access Control

• User management: local users, LDAP, and Active Directory integration
• Roles and privileges: fine-grained repository access control
• Content selectors for attribute-based access control
• Security policy: component licence compliance and vulnerability scanning

Module 6: Nexus in CI/CD Pipelines

• Integrating Nexus with Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions
• Resolving dependencies from Nexus in build pipelines
• Publishing artefacts to Nexus after successful builds
• Nexus IQ Server: open-source risk management in CI/CD

Module 7: Nexus Administration and Maintenance

• Blob store management: file and S3 blob store configuration
• Cleanup policies: removing old and unused artefacts automatically
• Backup and restore: Nexus database and blob store backup
• Monitoring Nexus: JMX metrics and Prometheus integration

Module 8: Capstone Project and Assessment

• Nexus repository setup: Maven, Docker, and npm repositories
• CI/CD pipeline integration with dependency resolution and publishing
• Security scanning and cleanup policy configuration project
• Final assessment and course certification

Experience in the Industry Gain expertise from DevOps engineers who have deployed and administered Sonatype Nexus Repository for enterprise software teams managing Java, Python, JavaScript, and container image artefacts in CI/CD pipelines.

Backgrounds at the Top Our Nexus trainers have configured Nexus Repository Manager at software development organisations and DevOps teams where centralised artefact management is essential for build reproducibility and security.

Clear & Effective Teaching Nexus repository types, Maven/npm/Docker/PyPI registries, access control, CI/CD integration, security scanning, blob store management, and cleanup policies are taught with practical artefact management examples.

Hands-On Learning Focus Students configure Nexus repositories, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, manage artefact security policies, set up cleanup rules, and administer blob stores through structured hands-on lab exercises.

Up-to-Date Knowledge Trainers keep content current with the latest Nexus Repository releases, Sonatype Nexus IQ and Lifecycle security features, cloud-hosted Nexus options, and evolving artefact management best practices.
