AEMaaCS migration
Frameworks: AEMaaCS, AEM Assets, Dynamic Media
As part of the transition from AEM on-premise to AEM as a Cloud Service, I support the development and operations teams in identifying relevant topics.
In cooperation with the Technical Account Manager (TAM), I develop authentication and authorization concepts to meet the specific requirements of a cloud application at VWFS.
I also provide technical expertise to help implement the necessary tasks.
A key aspect of the migration is managing AEM Assets and Dynamic Media.
For AEM Assets, I oversee the migration and optimization of existing assets such as images, videos, and documents to ensure seamless integration with the cloud environment.
For Dynamic Media, I handle the integration and configuration of features that enable dynamic image and video delivery across multiple channels.
This includes ensuring high-performance media delivery, especially for global markets, and creating renditions tailored to various device requirements, such as adaptive image sizes.
To ensure a successful migration, I develop a dedicated AEM test plan to guarantee code quality and product stability.
I also help set up the CI/CD pipeline in AEM Cloud Manager, automating build and deployment processes.
Content migration is another critical task, involving transferring existing content to the cloud while optimizing it for better performance and ensuring proper indexing for search functionalities.
Performance analysis is vital, especially in optimizing load times and overall system performance, with a specific focus on delivering assets and dynamic media.
Finally, I set up and optimize a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure fast and secure global content delivery.
