Create your first Edge Delivery site with one click about-one-click-edge-delivery-site
Creating your first Edge Delivery site with one click is designed to help you automate the onboarding and deployment of Edge Delivery sites within Cloud Manager. It greatly simplifies the process by having you click a single button. That single click provisions the required infrastructure, integrates with GitHub for version control, and configures your document and asset storage in Google Drive.
This automation helps reduce the manual effort that is required to set up your initial site. It ensures seamless workflows, scalability, and improves the performance of your teams when it comes to managing content at the edge.

To create an Adobe Edge Delivery site with one click, your organization must have an available Edge Delivery Services license. This license is part of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and is necessary for creating Edge Delivery Services within Cloud Manager.
In terms of permissions, you must be a member of the Business Owner role or have been granted the appropriate permissions to add or edit programs in Cloud Manager. This access level lets you manage the integration of Edge Delivery Services into your programs.
