While AEM (including Apache/Dispatcher) and CDN logs can be downloaded from Cloud Manager, many organizations find it beneficial to stream those logs to a preferred logging destination. AEM now supports log forwarding to Azure Blob Storage, Datadog, HTTPS, Elasticsearch (and OpenSearch), and Splunk. AEM logs can be optionally forwarded over advanced networking configurations, such as using a dedicated IP address.
This feature is configured by users in a self-serve manner, and deployed using the Config Pipeline.
Pipeline-free URL Redirects for Business Users pipeline-free-redirects
Browser-side redirects are useful when a web page has been taken down or has moved, or other scenarios. With Pipeline-free URL Redirects, you can place an Apache rewrite map file in an AEM publish location, where it is automatically loaded – no need to commit the file to source control or initiate a Cloud Manager pipeline.
Options for publishing the rewrite file include uploading it as an asset, using the ACS Commons Rewrite Map Manager, or interacting with a custom user interface.
Config Pipeline for RDEs config-pipeline-rdes
Rapid Development Environments are a powerful tool for quickly deploying and testing code and configuration in a Cloud environment. RDEs now support syncing of configuration YAML-files, including CDN settings such as traffic filter rules and request/response transformations, as well as log forwarding and other configuration options. See the full list of supported configuration options for more details.
New Product Profiles new-product-profiles
When a new AEM environment is created, Product Profiles automatically appear in the Adobe Admin Console, enabling administrators to assign access to licensed solutions and features.
New environments now include an updated set of Product Profiles, making them compatible with future features including generating API credentials in the Adobe Developer Console. Existing environments will be able to update their Product Profiles in a future release. Learn more.
New AEM Developer Console (Public Beta) aem-developer-console-beta
