Scaling green publish instances to 8XL during blue/green deployments in AEM Managed Services
You cannot scale green publish instances to 8XL in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Managed Services while a Cloud Manager deployment is in progress. Wait for the deployment to finish, scale the green publish instances, and then verify that they are at the 8XL size before you continue with your post-deployment operations.
Description description
During blue/green deployments in AEM Managed Services, it may be necessary to increase the capacity of green publish instances to handle higher traffic or meet deployment requirements. Scaling operations cannot be performed while a Cloud Manager deployment is in progress due to automation tool constraints. Proper coordination is required to avoid deployment delays and ensure that server scaling aligns with your deployment timeline.
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Managed Services (all versions)
Symptoms
- Unable to scale green publish instances to 8XL during an active Cloud Manager deployment
- Deployment process is blocked until server capacity is increased
- Post-deployment operations are delayed
Cause
Scaling operations for publish instances are restricted during active Cloud Manager deployments because of automation tool limitations. Attempting to scale during this time can cause conflicts or failures.
Resolution resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue.
- Check the status of your Cloud Manager deployment for the environment where scaling is required.
- If a deployment is currently in progress (for example, in the verification phase), wait until the deployment is complete before proceeding with scaling operations.
- Once the deployment has finished, initiate the server capacity increase for the green publish instances. If you do not have the necessary permissions or access to perform this action, contact your designated Adobe support contact to request the scaling operation.
- After the scaling operation is complete, verify that all targeted green publish instances are now at the 8XL size.
- Proceed with any required post-deployment or post-scaling operations, such as moving traffic to the green environment or continuing with your deployment process.
