AEMaaCS - Migration
Frameworks: AEMaaCS, AEM Assets, DynamicMedia
As part of the transition from AEM on-premise to AEM as a Cloud Service, I support the DEV and OPS teams in identifying relevant topics.
In cooperation with the Technical Account Manager (TAM), I work on elaborating authentication and authorization concepts to meet the specific requirements of a cloud application at VWFS.
Additionally, I provide technical expertise to assist in implementing the necessary tasks.
A key aspect of the migration involves 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.
Regarding 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, particularly 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 concept to guarantee code quality and product stability.
I also contribute to the setup of the CI/CD pipeline within AEM Cloud Manager, automating build and deployment processes.
Content migration is another critical task, involving the transfer of existing content to the cloud while optimizing it for better performance and ensuring proper indexing for search functionalities.
Performance analysis plays a vital role, especially in optimizing load times and overall system performance, with a specific focus on the delivery of assets and dynamic media.
Lastly, I set up and optimize a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure fast and secure global content delivery.
