Hello People,
We have different environments in project and different vhost and farm file for each environment domain.
Since most of things are common in these, how can we merge into one and handle environment specific values using vars file?
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks.

You can follow some of the below patterns to support different environments through same set of configuration files.
ENV_TYPE
variable is predefined in AMS, and its value can be customized by coordinating with an Adobe CSE. AEM as a Cloud Service introduces the ENVIRONMENT_TYPE
variable, with possible values being 'development' (irrespective of the number of development environments enabled or their designated purposes), 'stage', or 'production'. Additionally, AEM as a Cloud Service provides flags such as ENVIRONMENT_DEV
, ENVIRONMENT_STAGE
, and ENVIRONMENT_PROD
. Custom variables can be defined within global or environment-specific variable files. Furthermore, AEM as a Cloud Service allows the use of variables defined in the Cloud Manager within dispatcher configurations, refer to https://www.albinsblog.com/2023/09/support-custom-run-modes-in-aem-as-a-cloud-env-specific-values.ht... for more details.
Hi @iamnjain,
Can you please share a few differences among these environment specific vhost and farm files?

Hello @iamnjain
create an Ansible template of your vhost and farm files where variable or environment-specific content is replaced with a placeholder.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin {{ server_admin }}
...
DocumentRoot /var/www/{{ document_root }}
...
</VirtualHost>
Then Definevariables in var files for instance prod_vars.yml , QA_vars.yml
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hello @iamnjain
Variables allow you to decouple environment-specific settings from configurations. By using variables to store environment-related values, you ensure that configuration files remain consistent across development, testing, and production environments, ensuring the same functional output in different scenarios.
