Does AEM as a cloud service support static templates (use cases where due to some limitations where it is not possible to migrate static templates to editable templates).

Static Template design information that is stored in /apps can’t be edited via UI.

It is recommended that you leverage Editable Templates instead.
If Static Templates are still required, configuration information must come from Git via the CI/CD pipeline.

You can still use it but only thing is for every change you need to push the code and deploy in dev as well .

As you cannot edit /apps in AEM as a cloud directly from crxde.

@rohitk81560102 , It is always recommended to use Editable templates. If you have static templates you can leverage those and convert them into Editable Templates.
