Thanks @kautuk_sahni, for sharing the detailed information.
We are currently using cloud manager with AEM6.5.2 and now we are planning to migrate to AEM as a cloud service. So we were looking for the benefits which we will get. I was only able to find below two benefits when you are already on cloud manager.
1. Always on the latest version.
2. By using Asset Service you will increase the performance of asset uploads.
Could you please suggest us if we are missing anything.

Thank you so much @kautuk_sahni , This helps.
Hi @kautuk_sahni ,
Just want to know if migrating to cloud service is the only option or in future we can expect AEM 6.6 as well.
I am asking this because we have couple of clients who are still on-premises setup.

See this Thread: What is the roadmap for AEM after AEM 6.5
Adobe has decided not to use the major version vehicle in 2020 to ship a new AEM version. Instead, we can ship the new features, improvements as part of Service Packs on top of AEM 6.5. The main reason is that we want customers to adopt features quicker, and the best way to do that is to avoid a major release that is harder to update, and instead of shipping it as incremental Service Packs, that get much quicker adoption. We understand that this might confuse, as it breaks the release schedule that we had for years.
A question I get a lot is: How are you folks able to ship these features via Service Pack and don't need a major release? Over the years we have made improvements to the Service Pack installer, which allows us to update nearly all parts of AEM during the installation. Further, based on the same AEM code-base - AEM as a Cloud Service - is getting daily updates. So we are developing changes in the product incremental and with full backward compatibility in mind.
So what you will see for AEM 6.5 is continued steam of Service Packs every quarter (4x per year).
The next question that I get is: What about the EOL dates? Correct - they will need to change. We will update the EOL page soon https://helpx.adobe.com/support/programs/eol-matrix.html#AB to represent AEM 6.5 with that change in release strategy.
I hope this helps to understand the roadmap.
