After onboarding, the business owner sets up the program by adding a description and defining key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs are then used for performance testing.

  5. On the KPI tab, define your KPIs. In this example, separate KPIs are defined for AEM Sites and AEM Assets. Specify the KPIs for the products that you have licensed.

    See the section KPIs for more details on how KPIs are measured in Cloud Manager.

  6. On the Provisioning tab, you can define the on-demand scaling options for your environments if autoscaling is enabled for your program.

    Autoscaling is applicable to the production environment only and may not be available for all customer programs.

  7. Click Save.

Your program is created. It may take several minutes for resources to be provisioned before the program is ready for use.

The changes are saved immediately to Cloud Manager, but are not reflected in your environments until the next pipeline run.

If you have not yet created a pipeline, see Configuring Production Pipelines and Configuring Non-Production Pipelines.

Switch between programs swithing-programs

When working on a program, you can quickly switch to another program without returning to the Cloud Manager overview page.

Use the action bar to switch to another program, edit the current program, or add a new program.

KPIs kpis

Sites KPIs are measured on tests run in the staging environment. Typically, these KPIs are scaled down to fit the capabilities of the staging environment.

For example, a user expecting an average of 1000 page views per minute in their production environment, and has four Dispatcher/publishing servers in production, should scale this scenario to 250 page views per minute. This scenario assumes that their staging environment consists of only a single dispatcher/publish server pair.

Assets performance testing involves repeatedly uploading assets over a 30-minute period. The processing time for each asset and various system-level metrics are measured throughout the test.

You may have a content delivery network (CDN) such as Akamai or CloudFront in front of your production environment. Because Cloud Manager tests against the staging environment directly, the KPI should reflect only the traffic expected to pass through the CDN. That is, the cache misses. Typically, this experience is a relatively small subset of the total production traffic.
