With upstream sources, you can use both private packages you've created and public packages from Maven Central. When you enable upstream sources in your feed, Azure Artifacts will save a copy of any packages you install from Maven central. Azure Artifacts also support other Maven upstream sources such as Google Maven Repository, Gradle Plugins, and JitPack.
