Azure Artifacts provides an easy way to share packages with users outside your organization, including external customers, by using public feeds. Packages stored in public feeds can be accessed and installed by anyone on the internet without requiring an Azure DevOps account.
| Product | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Azure DevOps | - An Azure DevOps organization. - An Azure DevOps project. |
Note
Public feeds are only available in Azure DevOps Services.
[!INCLUDE allow-public-project-policy]
Public feeds are project-scoped feeds in a public project. Public feeds inherit the visibility settings of the hosting project.
-
Sign in to your Azure DevOps organization, and then navigate to your public project.
-
Select Artifacts, and then select Create Feed.
-
Enter a Name for your feed, select Project: PublicProject (Recommended) for its scope, and then select Create.

To share your packages publicly, you can simply share your feed URL, for example: https://dev.azure.com/<ORGANIZATION_NAME>/<PROJECT-NAME>/_artifacts/feed/<FEED_NAME> or share individual packages using package badges. As long as your project remains public, anyone can access and download packages from your public feed without requiring an Azure DevOps account.
