+## Externalizing Fingerprint Storage for Jenkins 
+- New FingerprintStorage API to build external fingerprint storage plugins.
+- [External Fingerprint Storage Phase-1 Updates](https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2020/06/27/external-fingerprint-storage/) Externalizing fingerprint storage for Jenkins is a Google Summer of Code 2020 project. Fingerprinting is a way to track which version of a file is being used by a job/build, making dependency tracking easy. The fingerprint engine of Jenkins can track usages of artifacts, credentials, files, images, etc. within the system. Currently, it does this by maintaining a local XML-based database. Advantages of using external storage drivers:
+    - Remove dependence on Jenkins master disk storage
+    - Support for configure pay-as-you-use cloud storages
+    - Easy Backup Management
+    - Better Reliability and Availability
+    - Fingerprints can be tracked across Jenkins instances
