+Some artifacts may be represented as a single file, such as config artifact representing a deployment specification. While other artifacts may include a config object, and a collection of binaries compressed as yet another layer. By separating the layers, the artifact author can benefit from layer de-duplication and concurrent downloading of each layer using various distribution-spec clients. How an artifact client processes layers, merging them with overlay, or extracting them to different locations or hosts is up to the artifact authors.
