Hi guys!
I have a general question regarding AEM Dev Ops.
What automated tools have you used to manage AEM OSGI bundle dependencies?
For example, if I add a dependency in my application's pom.xml, it's scope is provided, meaning that I have to separately deploy the bundle to a running AEM instance (local, test, production).
I would like to make that process smooth and automated. I believe there are a number of options out there. Right now, our org uses Ansible to do package deployment, but it isn't really dependency aware and the configuration doesn't "live with" our code.
What have you guys used to solve this problem? What works well? What doesn't?
Thanks!

I guess that these are 2 different aspects:
The deploying part is the easy one, because I would expect that you always provide a fixed set of deployment artifacts; and if the developers decide to add some more dependent libraries, these libraries should be embedded into the existing deployment artifacts.
On the development side you should declare your dependencies, and if your dependencies are not already part of AEM, makes sure that they get embedded into a content-package (if that dependency is a java bundle); this content-package is called "ui.apps" ([1]). Or if that's a plain java library, you should embedd it into your bundle.
