any way to create usable URL for cloud AEM author instances, instead of https://author-p29345-f121051.adobeaemcloud.com/ etc.

We have 7 AEM cloud envs, e.g.

dev = https://author-p29234-f121051.adobeaemcloud.com/

uat = https://author-p23425-e098098.adobeaemcloud.com/

prod = https://author-p29345-f121058.adobeaemcloud.com/

etc.

The problem is, it's impossible to remember these, or know which env you are on.

You might think you are on dev, create or delete some content, then realise its uat, screwing up the testing.

Is there any way to create a nice name/url?

Neither DNS CNAMES nor Aliases work.

Hi @tb3dock

No there is no way we can update these URLs.

But you can think of using "AEM Environment Indicator" from ACS Commons with which you can define a color code for each of the environment and using that you can identify which environment it is.

Hi, thanks for that. Unfortunately, this article only applies to on prem AEM. Cloud AEM does not allow editing or viewing of the OSGI properties. We can do it through code, but for that we need to know the name of the osgi configuration file. Any ideas what this might be?

@tb3dock You can start your local AEM instance with "dev" run mode, by adding the below property in sling.properties file which is located under <AEM installation directory>/crx-quickstart/conf.

sling.run.modes=dev, author

You can create the OSGi configuration as I mentioned above and test it on local.

Inner HTML will add a text showing as "author" along with the color.

Hi @tb3dock

I have configured my local AEM as Cloud Service instance to run with "dev" run mode and added the OSGi configuration in code to identify the dev instance with green color code.
