Hi @SwetaB ,
Implementing multi-tenancy in a shared AEM cloud environment can be achieved using various deployment strategies. The recommended approach, as mentioned in the documentation you referenced, is to use Git submodules. This allows you to have a single repository for shared components and resources, while also having individual repositories for each project.
Here are some guidelines and considerations for implementing multi-tenancy in a shared AEM cloud environment:
1. Git Submodules: Use Git submodules to manage shared components and resources. This allows you to have a central repository for shared code and configurations, while individual projects can have their own repositories for project-specific code.
2. Project Structure: Define a clear project structure that separates shared components and resources from project-specific components. This helps in managing code and configurations for each project separately.
3. Version Control: Use version control systems like Git to manage code and configurations. This ensures that changes made by different projects can be tracked, reviewed, and merged effectively.
4. Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD): Implement CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment processes. This helps in ensuring that changes made by different projects are properly tested and deployed to the shared environment.
5. Governance and Access Control: Establish governance processes and access controls to manage permissions and ensure that each project has appropriate access to their respective repositories and resources.
6. Documentation and Communication: Maintain clear documentation and communication channels to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the multi-tenancy setup, deployment processes, and any specific guidelines or best practices.
Apart from Git submodules, other deployment strategies that can be considered for multi-tenancy in a shared AEM cloud environment include:
- Git Branching: Use separate branches for each project within a single repository. This allows for easier management of shared and project-specific code, but may require more discipline in branch management.
- Docker Containers: Use Docker containers to isolate each project's AEM instance. This provides a higher level of isolation and flexibility, but may require more resources and infrastructure setup.
- Virtualization: Use virtualization technologies like VMWare or Kubernetes to create separate virtual environments for each project. This provides complete isolation but may require more infrastructure resources.
The choice of deployment strategy depends on various factors such as the complexity of the projects, resource availability, scalability requirements, and team preferences. It's important to evaluate and choose the strategy that best fits your specific requirements and constraints.
It's also recommended to consult with experienced AEM developers or solution architects who have implemented multi-tenancy in a shared AEM cloud environment to get insights and best practices specific to your use case.
