AEM as a Cloud Service 2024.3.0 release update

The features in this release focus on Experience Manager Assets and Cloud Service innovations.

Transcript
A brand new ED generative AI API access and a whole lot more coming at you. I’m Mark and I’m happy to walk you through. This new release. Over the next few minutes. I’ll share the latest innovation from Adobe Experience Manager. Let’s break it down by these three pillars delivering high impact experiences, empowering more people to create content mobile for all. Leveraging artificial intelligence to be actionable all while we streamline and speed up the development process. Let me start by sharing some of the innovation that helps you deliver high impact experiences. Okay, so this is a big feature I am authoring now combined with Edge delivery services. This release adds content also flexibility to now use AM authoring options, including whizzy editing to create and manage of course publish content with the performance benefits of edge delivery services. New AMP sites can be built with the typical front end skill set and no code is required to deploy into AMP via deployment pipelines. Existing AMP sites can transition to edge delivery by first moving front end to edge delivery, but keeping authoring on page editor. Edge delivery service also comes to AM forms, allowing you to use tools such as Microsoft Excel to go and build forms quickly and deploy them. Getting the best performance out of edge delivery services. This really speeds up the ability to create forms and deploy them. Next is content by all, for all empowering everyone to create content at scale. Content authors will love the new capability unlocked by the Universal Editor, which is the new visual editor for AMP Sites. As a class service. This supports both structured and unstructured content in a consistent manner, allowing you to manage content from content fragments as well as amp pages and components. This unlocks a number of use cases, as I mentioned before. For edge delivery services, we’re now unlocking the offering within the AMM environment, allowing you to visually edit the content for a page and be able to publish that out to edge delivery services. In addition, unlocking new use cases where I can visually edit content that may be hosted outside of experienced manager as well. A good example of this is headless implementations where my content could be configured as content fragments. Yet I can still have that visual flexibility, that content authors love. Now let me talk about some of the capability added around actionable intelligence to keep up with the demand for personalized content. Content creators need to create more content than ever before and experiment with variations. AM Sites now has a new capability to leverage generative AI. We call it content variations for instantly producing high performing copy and image variations by a simple segment in a simple UI. No prompt engineering experiences required content creators can now simply enter values into Pre-configured templates to produce performant results fast, while also providing flexibility for customization and the creation of new templates. Finally, variations can be combined with AM’s experimentation capability to test and optimize content and improve the customer experience. Okay. For the developer audience, we have some exciting enhancements to make it easier to keep building amazing experiences. Extended API support is now available for content fragments and models for create, read, update and delete support via well documented APIs. Allows developers with little knowledge of AMM to automate the management and integration of content fragments. Each API call now provides code samples for various languages and frameworks to make it easier for you to get started. Finally, let’s look at one key enhancements made to the foundation layer of Amazon Cloud service. New Advanced Networking Self-service Configuration Options for Cloud Manager. Taking the three most popular networking requests from our customers, we have the dedicated ingress IP addresses, the flexible port egress configuration and VPN set up. These features used to be service requests. That is something configured for you by Adobe personnel via back and forth and support tickets. Now it’s all self-service in Cloud manager. I’m sure you’ll agree that this release has a lot of exciting features and there’s a lot more that you can read through in the release notes, but I just want to call out a few more. Just before we wrap up today. First, the ability to compare content fragment versions, multi-site management features, support for experienced fragments, an update to the content importer, as well as the Sidekick extension capabilities being enhanced. So that’s it for this release. If you haven’t found the release notes yet, here is the URL where you can go and access them. And of course, we’d love to see you engage with this on the AMP community as part of Adobe Experience. Slate. I’m Mark Showcase for the Adobe Experience Manager team and it’s been great to share these exciting enhancements with you.

This release is centered around three pillars; delivering high impact experiences, empowering more people to create content, and leveraging artificial intelligence. The features in the release include the following:

Delivering high impact experiences

  • The release combines authoring with Edge delivery services, allowing content flexibility and performance benefits.
  • New AMP sites can be built with front-end skills and deployed through deployment pipelines.
  • Existing AMP sites can transition to edge delivery by moving the front end to edge delivery while keeping authoring on the page editor.
  • Edge delivery services are also available for AM forms, enabling the use of tools like Microsoft Excel to quickly build and deploy forms.

Empowering more people to create content

  • The Universal Editor, a new visual editor for AMP Sites, unlocks the capability for content authors to manage both structured and unstructured content consistently.
  • Content authors can visually edit content for a page and publish it to edge delivery services.
  • The Universal Editor also allows visual editing of content hosted outside of Adobe Experience Manager, such as headless implementations.

Leveraging artificial intelligence

  • AEM Sites now has a new capability called content variations, which leverages generative AI to produce high-performing copy and image variations.
  • Content creators can enter values into pre-configured templates to produce performant results quickly.
  • Content variations can be combined with AM’s experimentation capability to test and optimize content.

Additionally, there are enhancements for developers, including extended API support for content fragments and models, making it easier to automate the management and integration of content fragments. There are also advanced networking self-service configuration options for Cloud Manager, allowing users to configure dedicated ingress IP addresses, flexible port egress configuration, and VPN setup.

Other features mentioned include the ability to compare content fragment versions, multi-site management features, support for experienced fragments, an update to the content importer, and enhanced capabilities of the Sidekick extension.

Overall, this release introduces various features and enhancements aimed at delivering high impact experiences, empowering content creators, leveraging AI, and providing developer-friendly tools and configurations.
