Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation foundation
Content Delivery-related Early Adopter Programs foundation-early-adopter
Email aemcs-cdn-config-adopter@adobe.com, indicating which of the early adopter programs below you are interested in.
Basic Authentication at the CDN (Early Adopter Program) basicauth-cdn
Protect certain content resources by popping up a basic auth dialog requiring a username and password. This feature primarily targets light authentication use cases, like business stakeholders reviewing content, rather than serving as a comprehensive solution for end-user access rights. The list of username and passwords in managed through a configuration file in git that is deployed via Configuration Pipeline, with a reference to secret-type Cloud Manager environment variables. Learn more.
Client-Side Redirects (Early Adopter Program) client-side-redirects-early-adopter
Configure 301/302 client-side redirects in source control, and deploy to the CDN. Learn more. Note that there are several other features already available related to CDN configuration, including request and response transformations, and routing traffic to off-AEM sites.
Business Users Can Declare Redirects Outside of Git (Early Adopter Program) apache-rewritemaps-early-adopter
Similar to AEM 6.5, Apache/dispatcher ingest rewrite maps placed in a specific location in the publish repository, and load them, without requiring a web tier pipeline execution. This approach let business users declare redirects using a spreadsheet or a UI, like ACS Commons Redirect Map Manager or a custom application.
Edge Side Includes (ESI) for Loading Dynamic Content (Early Adopter Program) esi-early-adopter
The Adobe Managed CDN now supports Edge Side Includes (ESI), a markup language for edge level dynamic web content assembly. By including ESI snippets, you can cache the overall HTML page at the CDN with higher TTLs, while more frequently fetching from origin those smaller sections that require higher cadence updates (lower TTLs).
