Is there a way to auto replicate Prod and QA environments?

[savi-Yo]

We post our content directly on the prod environment but we use QA for testing AEM auto updates. We have in all 4 environments - Dev, QA, Stage, and Prod out of which Dev and QA and non-production pipelines. We are having a hard time keeping all these environments updated. Is there a way to replicate/auto-update environments? Any best practices?

Hi @savi-Yo ,

I would recommend you to please have a look at AEM Content Synchronization here:

• VLT RCP
• Grabbit

For more details: https://medium.com/globant/aem-content-synchronization-cb1e15b0c3f8 There are couple things you can consider to avoid manual work and make it automated.

Hope that helps you!

WHAT IS QA.....

[Manu_Mathew_]

@THEROYALEXPRESSTRAVE It probabaly refers to QA(Quality Assurance/Testing) environment.

@savi-Yo You could configure relicating agents and use replicate options,

however might have some problem if its between 2 authors:

• ACLs are not persisted on the receiving side.
• Annotations are persisted on the receiving side.

Grabbit is also and option for content sync.

For AEM as a Cloud Service there is a solution currently being developed, which will help you in that. Not sure about the ETA though.
