Content Sync - One Environment to other - Auto Sync

[nj2]

Hi All, 

Our requirement is to setup two environments, ENV-1 and ENV-2 (one-way sync), with ENV-2 syncing content from ENV-1. 

In order to automatically sync content from ENV-1 to ENV-2, what options are available to us?

Any Considerations to keep in mind before setting up this type of setup?

TIA

It might be worth a shot to try replication agent in Env-1, where a replication agent will publish content to an author and publish server in Env-2.

Replication agents are definitely one option, but you should consider the fact if you need content migration from author to author and publisher to publisher or just want to sync content from the author of env1 to author&pub of env 2.

I have also used this tool [1] to sync content automatically from one env to another environment.

Hi @nj2 ,

There are multiple options you may consider for content synchronization, it depends on architecture what suits you better. One I would choose Grabbit based on your above example.

Here are more detailed explanation given with various options: https://medium.com/globant/aem-content-synchronization-cb1e15b0c3f8

Hope that helps!

Thanks @SantoshSai , @Mohit_KBansal for your reply. 

I am looking for OOB options and not any external tool for this implementation. 

Options are in consideration - 

1. Replication agent to push content to Author/publish server

2. Workflow - internally invoke replication agent 

Any other  suggestions ?

Hi,

Will this work in AEM Cloud as well? Another thread on the same topic and looks like it is not possible except Package Manager right now in AEM Cloud. please confirm

Hi @SantoshSai, Did you have any issues in using Grabbit with AEM 6.5 ?

Per Grabbit Github repo below, latest version is v7.1.5 released 2 years ago and support is mentioned till AEM version 6.3

OOTB solution is replication. Setup replication agent in Env-1, where a replication agent will publish content to an author and publish in Env-2.

thank you @HeenaMadan  - Are there any pointers or use cases I should consider when choosing this solution? such as what should be invocation strategy - event based (page create/update/delete) or workflow or any other method.. please share your thought on this..
