Liberty Repository

The Liberty Repository provides an online mechanism to deliver the Liberty profile and additional content, enabling a single point of access for various asset types. The Liberty Repository provides early access to supported new content, including new product capabilities, when they are delivered, rather than waiting for a new release.

The Liberty Repository enables integration with open source, access to runtime capabilities, and access to configuration and administration resources for developers and operations teams.
