AEM as a Cloud Service is redefining how enterprises scale, deliver, and manage digital experiences in an increasingly global and content-intensive landscape. While legacy on-premise AEM environments were built for stability, today’s demand for agility, automation, and resilient performance exposes their operational limitations: manual scaling, infrastructure bottlenecks, heavy asset workflows, and rising maintenance overhead.
This shift presents both opportunity and urgency. Moving to AEMaaCS unlocks elastic scalability, microservices-driven asset processing, automated upgrades, and globally optimized delivery.
This whitepaper explores the architectural evolution from AEM 6.5 on-premise to AEM as a Cloud Service, the technical challenges inherited from legacy platforms, and the modernization patterns that enable enterprises to fully leverage Cloud-native capabilities.
What’s inside this whitepaper:
How AEMaaCS’ Cloud-native architecture differs from traditional on-premise AEM
- Legacy system challenges: scaling constraints, heavy authoring loads, workflow bottlenecks, and resource contention
- The end-to-end migration strategy; from discovery and BPA assessment to code refactoring, content migration, testing, and cutover
- Key technical considerations, including Sling job execution, reverse replication alternatives, asset microservices, and Cloud-compliant integrations
- Post-migration optimization practices leveraging Adobe Cloud Manager, CDN enhancements, governance frameworks, and continuous updates
