responsibilities

  • set up and update the AEM instance
  • deploy AEM packages

all done declaratively, support in-place update when possible

potential problems:

resource candidates:

  • aem_instance - provisioning via SSH connection (cloud agnostic)
  • aem_aws_instance - provisioning via AWS SSM (dedicated to AWS, SSH-less)
resource "aws_instance" "aem_author" {
  // ...
}

resource "aem_aws_instance" "aem_author" {
  aws {
    id  = aws_instance.aem.id
    ssm = true // prefer SSM over SSH when connecting to instance to provision it
  }

  config {
    instance_id = "local_author"
    file        = "aem.yml"  // or yml inline below
