How to store artifact file for Gitlab CI scheduled pipelines

I see that artifacts are belongs to pipeline. Is there any way to store artifacts(json file) for forever and mount into Gitlab pipline?

I need to run scheduled and automated updates of K8s. For that I'm store upgrade status in json file, this json file used/updated by other scheduled automated update. If artifacts belongs to pipeline, I have keep track of pipline numbers.

So is there any easy way to store data in artifact and get mounted while pipeline is running for update?

Solution

cache solves my problem

aks-baseline-k8s-update:
  stage: k8s-update
  image: "toolbox:master"

  script:
    - update.sh
  cache:
    key: upgrade-history
    paths:
      - upgrade-history.json
  only:
    refs:
      - schedules
    variables:
      - $SCHEDULE_TYPE == "aks-k8s"
