# Artifactory and Nexus terms in CloudRepo > What CloudRepo calls an Artifactory local, remote or virtual repository and a Nexus hosted, proxy or group repository, and what CloudRepo does not have. If you know Artifactory’s local, remote and virtual repositories or Nexus’s hosted, proxy and group repositories, this table gives the CloudRepo word for each term you already use. Where CloudRepo has no equivalent, the row says so. | In Artifactory or Nexus | In CloudRepo | What to know | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Artifactory local repository; Nexus hosted repository | A repository in **Local** mode, also called a hosted repository | You publish to it. Choose **Local** as the **Repository Mode** when you create a repository. See [Creating a Repository](/docs/manage/repositories.html#creating-a-repository). | | Artifactory remote repository; Nexus proxy repository | Proxy repository | It fetches from one upstream and stores a copy in your repository. You choose the upstream from a fixed list of servers, not by typing an address. See [Proxy Repositories](/docs/consume/proxy-repositories.html). | | Artifactory virtual repository; Nexus group repository | Group repository, for Maven and Docker only | One address in front of several member repositories. A group is read only, and the first member, in the priority you set, that holds a file serves it. Unlike a Nexus group, a Maven group does not merge its members’ `maven-metadata.xml`. npm and Python have no group repository: keep your own packages in a local repository and reach public packages through a proxy repository, as the [npm](/docs/consume/npm.html) and [Python](/docs/consume/python.html) pages show. See [Maven group repositories](/docs/formats/maven.html#maven-group-repositories-nexus-maven-public-artifactory-virtual) and [Group Docker repositories](/docs/formats/docker.html#group-docker-repositories). | | Artifactory Default Deployment Repository; Nexus writable group member | Deploy to the hosted member; pull through the group | An Artifactory virtual repository sends a deploy to its Default Deployment Repository, and a Nexus Docker or npm group sends a push to its Writable Repository. CloudRepo has neither: a group is read only and refuses a write with 405, so deploy to the hosted member by its own address and keep reading through the group. Maven, before: a deploy to the group `https://your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/maven-public` is refused with `405 Method Not Allowed`. Maven, after: `` names the member `https://your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/your-repo`. Docker, before: `docker push your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/team-registry/my-app:1.0.0` is refused with `Writes are not permitted to group repositories`. Docker, after: `docker push your-org.mycloudrepo.io/repositories/app-images/my-app:1.0.0`, and the group serves the image to a pull. See [Maven group repositories](/docs/formats/maven.html#maven-group-repositories-nexus-maven-public-artifactory-virtual), [Group Docker repositories](/docs/formats/docker.html#group-docker-repositories) and [a refused Docker push](/docs/publish/docker.html#when-a-push-is-refused). | | Artifactory access token; Nexus user token | Repository token | The credential your build tools send. It reaches only the repositories you choose, is read only or read and write, and expires on the date you pick, or never. A client that sends a username sends the email address of the account that created the token. See [Repository Tokens](/docs/authenticate/repository-tokens.html). | | Artifactory Set Me Up | Connection Settings, which opens the Connect page | Open a repository and click **Connection Settings**. The page shows how to connect your clients to that repository, with its address filled in. See [View Connection Settings](/docs/manage/repositories.html#view-connection-settings). | | Artifactory cleanup policy; Nexus cleanup policy | Snapshot Cleanup, for Maven repositories only | A setting on a Maven repository: **Snapshots to keep per GAV**, from 1 to 10. It is the only cleanup setting CloudRepo has. See [Maven Snapshot Cleanup](/docs/formats/maven.html#maven-snapshot-cleanup). | | Nexus content selectors | CloudRepo has none. | A repository token reaches only the repositories you choose. See [Repository Tokens](/docs/authenticate/repository-tokens.html). | | JFrog Xray; Sonatype Repository Firewall | CloudRepo has none. | CloudRepo does not scan the packages you store. Run a scanner such as Snyk, Trivy or Dependabot in your pipeline. See [the FAQ answer](/docs/reference/faq.html#does-cloudrepo-scan-packages-for-vulnerabilities). | | Artifactory build-info | CloudRepo has none. | Publishing is covered in [Publish Maven artifacts to CloudRepo](/docs/publish/maven.html). | | Artifactory federated repositories | CloudRepo has none. | A repository in CloudRepo is Local, Proxy or Group. See [Creating a Repository](/docs/manage/repositories.html#creating-a-repository). | | Artifactory promotion | CloudRepo has none. | A build publishes to a repository you name. See [Publish Maven artifacts to CloudRepo](/docs/publish/maven.html). | To move your files, use the `cloudrepo-migrate` guides: [Artifactory](/docs/migrate/from-artifactory.html), [Nexus 3](/docs/migrate/from-nexus-3.html) and [Nexus 2](/docs/migrate/from-nexus-2.html). --- The page: https://www.cloudrepo.io/docs/migrate/artifactory-and-nexus-terms.html
