Beginners Tutorial: What is Cloud Manager for Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)?
#aem #cloudmanager #adobeexperiencemanager
Cloud service allows customers to build, test, and deploy AEM applications hosted by Adobe Managed Services.
Enables customers to manage their custom code deployments on their AEM-managed cloud environments with manageable pipeline automation and complete flexibility for their deployments timing or frequency.
Each customer gets its own Git Repository and their code is secure and not shared with any other Organizations.
Cloud Manager is only available to Adobe Managed Services customers using AEM 6.4 or above
Restructure the code with latest arch type to support the Dispatcher deployment
Address the quality issues and adhere to the best practices
Define application-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Self Service interface :
Enables customers to easily access and manage the cloud environment and CI/CD pipeline for their Experience Manager applications.
Helps to define application specific KPI's like peak page views per minute and expected response time for a page load,
Helps to define Roles and permissions for different team members.
CI/CD pipeline:
Setup optimized CI/CD pipeline to speed the delivery of custom code or updates such as adding new components on the website.
Allows AEM project teams to quickly, safely and consistently deploy code to all AEM environments hosted in AMS
Thorough code scan is executed to ensure that only high-quality applications pass through to the production environment.
Quality checks include, code inspection, security testing, and performance testing are always performed as part of the CI/CD pipeline execution
Flexible Deployment Modes:
Cloud Manager offers customers flexible and configurable deployment modes so they can deliver experiences according to changing business demands
Automatic trigger mode, the code is automatically deployed to an environment based on specific events such as code commit.
You can also schedule code deployments during specified time frames, even outside business hours.
Benefits
Enables organizations to self-manage Experience Manager in the cloud
Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery of code to reduce time to market from months/weeks to days/hours
Cloud Manager provides continuous delivery and continuous integration for updates with zero downtime.
Code Inspection, performance testing and security validation based on best practices before pushing to production to minimize production disruptions.
Automatic, scheduled or manual deployment even outside of business hours for maximum flexibility and control.
Autoscaling feature intelligently detects the need for increased capacity and automatically brings online additional Dispatcher/Publish segment(s).
Reduce the dependency with Adobe CSE for production deployment
Configure a set of content paths which will either be invalidated or flushed from the AEM Dispatcher cache for publish instances
Development on your local git repositories ate integrate with CM Git repository
API/Events/Webhooks for external tool integration through Adobe I/O
Non-Prod Code Quality Pipeline
Non-Prod Deployment Pipeline
Production Pipeline
Code Quality Pipeline
Code Quality pipelines execute series of steps on a code from a Git branch to build and be evaluated against Cloud Manager’s code quality scan
Helps to identify and fix the quality issues before planning for production deployment.
Code quality pipeline can be used before provisioning the environments
Quality report for review
Deployment Pipeline
Deployment pipelines support the automated deployment of code from the Git repository to any Non-production environment, meaning any provisioned AEM environment that is not Stage or Production.
Production Pipeline
The CI/CD Production Pipeline is used to build and deploy code through Stage to the Production environment, decreasing time to value.
Triggers:
manually,
with a Git commit
based on a recurring schedule
The Production Deployment:
Application for Approval (if enabled)
Schedule Production Deployment (if enabled)
CSE Support (if enabled)
