Implementing AEM Edge Delivery Services with the Adobe-managed Git repository
This article explains how to implement Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Edge Delivery Services (EDS) by using the Adobe-managed Git repository available through Cloud Manager. Organizations with security policies that restrict the use of external repositories can use the Adobe-managed repository to create and manage EDS sites. The setup process differs from workflows that use external repositories, which can make repository selection and site configuration unclear. To resolve the issue, configure EDS by using the Adobe-managed Git repository.
Description description
Environment
- Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Edge Delivery Services (EDS), all versions
- Adobe-managed Git repository
- Cloud Manager
Issue/Symptoms
- Unable to use external repositories for EDS site code because of organizational security policies.
- Repository selection options are unclear or unavailable when creating an EDS site.
- Authentication, repository linking, and site configuration steps are unclear.
Root cause
Some organizations enforce security policies that prohibit the use of external repositories. The Adobe-managed Git repository can be used for Edge Delivery Services (EDS) site creation and management, but the workflow and UI options may differ from those for external repositories, requiring additional configuration and validation steps.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
- Verify that you have access to the Adobe-managed Git repository in Cloud Manager. If the repository is unavailable, contact the Adobe administrator for the program.
- In the Edge Delivery Services UI, select the option to bring your own Git repository.
- Select the Adobe-managed Git repository from the available repository options. If prompted, enter the existing site name to confirm the selection.
- Save the generated secret key in a secure location because it is required for subsequent configuration steps.
- Follow the documented Edge Delivery Services setup process to configure the site to use Cloud Manager with the Adobe-managed Git repository. Use the generated secret key during the repository-linking process.
- Validate that the authentication token and repository details are configured correctly in Cloud Manager.
- If repository-related UI options are missing or differ from the documentation, clear the browser cache and retry. Also, verify that network or firewall restrictions are not blocking required requests.
- Verify the resolution by confirming that the EDS site is connected successfully and that code synchronization is functioning as expected.
