Which S2I script is used to save build artifacts?

• A. artifacts-save
• B. save-artifacts
• C. preserve-artifacts
• D. finish-artifacts

Answer: (B)

In S2I, there is a dedicated script whose purpose is to preserve what the build produced so that it can be reused in later steps or subsequent builds. That script is the one that saves artifacts. It runs after the build work is done and copies key outputs—such as binaries, dependencies, or other generated files—into a shared artifacts location. This enables incremental builds and faster iterations because those preserved artifacts don’t have to be rebuilt from scratch each time. Other script names don’t correspond to the standard S2I lifecycle, so they wouldn’t automatically handle artifact preservation.
