This page outlines the Release Notes for Cloud Manager in AEM as a Cloud Service 2020.8.0.

Release date

The Release date for Cloud Manager in AEM as a Cloud Service 2020.8.0 is August 06, 2020.

Content Audit is a feature enabled on Cloud Manager Sites Production Pipelines. The Production Pipeline configuration for programs with Sites now includes a third tab named Content Audit. Each time a production pipeline runs, a new Content Audit step follows custom functional testing. This step evaluates the site across several dimensions, including performance, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), accessibility, best practices, and PWA (Progressive Web App) compliance.

NOTE
Content Audit has since been renamed to Experience Audit.

See Experience Audit Testing for more details.
Newly created environments in Assets programs are now configured automatically with Smart Content Services.
Hibernated environments can be de-hibernated from the Cloud Manager’s Overview page.
Ability to perform Experience Checks on pages, powered by Google Lighthouse. As part of the Cloud Manager pipeline, up to 25 pages can be checked and validated against experience KPIs, and scores are displayed in the Cloud Manager UI.

Some unnecessary and undesired SonarQube plugins were being executed as part of the Code Quality scanning.
On the pipeline execution page, the branch name was incorrectly formatted.
In some cases, completed pipeline executions were not successfully recorded as having been completed, preventing new executions of the pipeline.
Pipeline executions would occasionally get stuck due to internal communication issues.
Upon provisioning a new organization, some users with administrative roles other than system administrators were erroneously given access to Cloud Manager.
Under certain conditions, the update indexes job was started multiple times in parallel, resulting in a deployment failure.
The tooltip on the program cards were not consistently correct.
The user interface erroneously allowed for operations to be attempted on an environment while it was being deleted.
There was a color mismatch on the Cloud Manager’s Overview page.

Invalid pages are included, bringing the Content Audit Average Score below what they should be.
The Content Audit tab incorrectly displays the base URL using the author domain instead of the publish domain.
To activate the Content Audit step, users must edit the pipeline and, optionally, add pages. If no pages are added, the homepage is audited.
