Introduction to Cloud Manager intro-cloud-manager
Cloud Manager is an essential component of AEM as a Cloud Service and serves as the single entry point for your team. Its purpose-built CI/CD pipelines are equipped to ensure thorough testing and highest code quality to deliver exceptional experiences. To ensure customers can quickly start their projects, Cloud Manager provides everything required in a self-service manner including the ability to create your cloud resources and environments and access your git repositories. These features support enterprise development setups so teams can work towards committing changes frequently, rapidly delivering exceptional digital experiences, and accelerating time-to-value.
Your system administrator is responsible for setting up your Cloud Manager team which will include individuals that will create your cloud resources and developers. For more information about how to set up and scale your enterprise development team and see how AEM as a Cloud Service can support your development process, see Enterprise Team Development Setup for AEM as a Cloud Service.

Cloud Manager Programs cloud-manager-programs
Cloud Manager programs represent sets of Cloud Manager environments supporting logical groupings of business initiatives. These groupings typically correspond to a purchased Service Level Agreement (SLA). For example, one program may represent the AEM resources to support an organization’s public Web site, while another program represents an internal DAM.

A user can create a Sandbox or a Production program.
-
A production program is created to enable live traffic at the appropriate time in the future.
- See Introduction to Production Programs for more details.
-
A sandbox program is typically created to serve the purposes of training, running demos, enablement, creating POCs, or for documentation.
- It is not meant to carry live traffic and will have restrictions that a production program will not.
- It includes Sites and Assets and is delivered auto-populated with a git branch that includes sample code, a development environment, and a non-production pipeline.
- See Introduction to Sandbox Programs for more details.
Cloud Manager Environments cloud-manager-environments
Your cloud environments are created, accessed and viewed via Cloud Manager. These environments can be production, staging, or development environments. Different environments serve different purposes and can be used with different CI/CD pipelines. Environments are composed of services such as:
AEM Authoring Service author-services
An AEM authoring service is included in environments where site content and digital assets are created, managed, and updated. Typically only internal users have access to the authoring service and it is maintained behind a login screen. The authoring service acts as both an authoring and preview environment.
AEM Publishing Service publish-services
An AEM publishing service is included in environments that host the end-user experience, like a web site. This is the service that site visitors will view and interact with. Typically, the publishing service is publicly available.
AEM Dispatcher Service dispatcher-services
The dispatcher is an Apache HTTP Web server
module that provides a security and performance layer that sits in front of the AEM publishing service.
