In AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), the Adobe Pipeline feature refers to a deployment pipeline
that packages both the AEM product code and customer-specific code into a deployable artifact. This
artifact is then used to deploy AEM and custom applications to the cloud environment in a seamless,
cloud-native manner.
Key Features of the Adobe Pipeline:
Cloud-Native Deployment: The Adobe Pipeline leverages cloud-native practices for building, testing,
and deploying AEM applications in the cloud environment, ensuring rapid and reliable updates.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): It enables a CI/CD process for AEM as a
Cloud Service, allowing for automated testing and deployment of code changes, reducing the risk of
errors and enhancing deployment speed.
Artifact-Based Deployment: The pipeline produces a single deployable artifact, which includes the
core AEM code along with any customizations, streamlining the deployment process and ensuring
consistency across environments.
Adobe Experience Manager Reference:
The Adobe Pipeline is a critical component of the AEM as a Cloud Service architecture, supporting
efficient and scalable deployments in a cloud environment. The pipeline’s configuration and usage
are well-documented in AEM’s cloud service resources, which highlight best practices for managing
the lifecycle of AEM applications in a cloud-native setup.
