AEM OpenCloud is an open source infrastructure platform for managing multiple AEM environments on AWS. It was created by Shine Solutions based on experience deploying AEM on AWS since 2013. AEM OpenCloud uses modules and libraries to automate tasks like deploying packages, creating snapshots, and testing environments. It supports multiple AEM versions and operating systems and aims to provide a fully automated solution for managing AEM environments with infrastructure as code.
