How to check environment in aem cloud like QA/UAT ?

[pratikshah]

Since in AEM cloud custom runmode are not supported so how we can detect that which environment it is since AEMCaaS give feasibility to detect dev/stage/prod but what about UAT and QA ?

You can use the Cloud environment variables and update this for specific environments. This can be assigned to an OSGI config variable.

{
  "environmentType":"$[env:ENVIRONMENT_TYPE]"
}

Hi @pratikshah 
Please check osgi config for Env indicator: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/unable-to-use-aem-environm...

Hi @pratikshah,

to achieve this you will need to create custom configuration for your different DEV environments and set DEV/QA/INT as environment variable. For example, your configuration might look like this:

{
  "instanceEnvironment": "$[env:INSTANCE_ENVIRONMENT;default=dev]",
  "instanceType": "author"
}

Hope this helps,

Daniel

while you always implement code like suggested by @narendiran_ravi , I would like to understand why you need to that distinction.

If you need to configure different OSGI configuration for DEV and UAT (which is a DEV in AEM CS terms), you can manage them through environment variables. See https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/dep...
