Which step should be performed first when provisioning AEM as a Cloud Service environments?

Question

Options

• AConfigure dispatcher rules for the production environment
• BSet up the development, stage, and production instances
• CDeploy user permissions in all environments
• DPerform initial migration of content

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  88% (21)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

Setting up the development, stage, and production instances (B) must come first because you cannot configure, deploy, or migrate anything without environments to target - they are the foundational infrastructure on which all subsequent steps depend. AEM as a Cloud Service provisions these three tiers as a set, establishing the pipeline topology before any configuration or content work begins.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Dispatcher rules): Dispatcher configuration is applied to an existing environment; you can't configure routing rules before the environment exists.
• C (User permissions): Permissions are deployed into provisioned environments - this is a post-setup step, not a prerequisite.
• D (Content migration): Content has nowhere to land until instances are live; migration is typically the last major step in a go-live sequence.

Memory tip: Think "Build before you fill." You always build the house (instances) before you install the doors (dispatcher), assign keys (permissions), or move in furniture (content).
