How to deploy two codebase without overriding in AEM cloud?

Question

I have a repo A which has /apps/abc and I also have one more repo B which is having /apps/xyz. When I deploy a repo A code using cloud manager pipeline and it deploys the code /apps/abc and then when I deploy repo B, it removes /apps/abc and deploy only /apps/xyz.

I checked the filter.xml and found that it does not have any mode so hence I added mode = merge but even after mode is merge it still overrides the others

Repo A

Repo B

Note - I don't have this issue in my local AEM. I keep deploying these two repos and I don't see this issue at all. It is happening only in AEM cloud instances.

Hello @mario248

In case of Cloud, when code is deployed an AEM Image is created. It only contains mutable content (/content, /conf etc) from current AEM instance.

All code deployed in immutable areas like /apps are not carried over to the Image.

Thus, when you deploy /apps/xyz after deploying /apps/abc, the /apps/abc is not present in AEM Image.

In such cases, multiple repositories can be created for Project-ABC and Project-XYZ. But, these need to merge under a single parent project in cloud manager for deployment (kind-of multi tenant set-up).

It is similar to https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/using-cloud-manager/managing-code/working-with-multiple-source-git-repositories.html?lang=en

Cloud manager on AEMaaCS, does a clean deployment. that means the old instances/container is deleted and new instances is added and then deployment happens.

You have to install both the code base as part of single deployment.
