AEM as a Cloud Service provides advanced networking features that allows for precise management of connections to and from AEM as a Cloud Service programs.

Production Programs Sandbox Programs
Supports advanced networking

AEM’s advanced networking is comprised of three options for managing connectivity with external services. A Cloud Manager program, and its AEM as a Cloud Service environments, can only use a single type of advanced networking configuration at a time, so ensure that the most appropriate type is selected.

HTTP/HTTPS on standard ports HTTP/HTTPS on non-standard ports Non-HTTP/HTTPS connections Dedicated egress IP “No-proxy hosts” list Connect to VPN-protected services Limit AEM Publish traffic by IP
No advanced networking
Flexible port egress
Dedicated egress IP address
Virtual Private Network

For more details on the considerations involved when selecting the appropriate advanced networking type, see advanced networking documentation.
