Alternate for Asset Offloading in Adobe AEM/Assets 6.5

[Ganthimathi_R]

Hi All,

Is there an alternate solution for Asset offloading in AEM 6.5. As per adobe this function is deprecated in 6.4 and removed in 6.5.

With Adobe moving towards AEM as a cloud service, there isn't a need for setting up asset offloading anymore, since this is now handled by the asset micro-services. That's why Adobe would have deprecated the feature.

Hi @Nikhil_Verma 

The problem is Adobe still supports Adobe Assets or AEM in OnPrem & AMS mode. In those cases, architecture is different(No Microservice/Monolithic Architecture) in handling Assets.For such a case how do we optimize the performance without the help of Asset offloading?

That's a valid point @Ganthimathi_R , and TBH I'm not sure what other alternative Adobe might have for on-prem scenarios.

However, considering that AEMaaCS is the future where Adobe is moving towards, I doubt if any investment is done on features for on-prem scenarios as these cases will go lesser with time.

I'd like follow this thread to see what others think.
