What is the AFM as a Cloud Service feature Adobe Pipeline?

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.
