Alternate definition of artifact

["Josh Allen" <jallen@macrovision.com>]

Hi all,

 

On the call today I suggested an alternative definition of the term artifact that might help us feel more comfortable with this term.  At request I've included it here for review:

 

Artifact: zero or more files representing a payload and if necessary a set of instructions about how to use that payload to perform a lifecycle operation on a resource.

 

Thanks,

Josh
