Which process should be followed to validate custom components for compatibility with AEM as a Cloud Service?

Question

Options

• ARefactor the components to use editable templates exclusively
• BUse the BPA tool to identify and resolve compatibility issues
• CSkip validation if the components were working in the previous environment
• DMigrate components directly to the production environment

• A

• B
  79% (22)
• C
  11% (3)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Using the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) is the prescribed Adobe-recommended process for identifying deprecated APIs, unsupported configurations, and compatibility gaps in custom components before migrating to AEM as a Cloud Service - it generates a structured report that guides remediation efforts systematically. Option A is wrong because editable templates are a content authoring concern, not a compatibility validation mechanism for Cloud Service requirements. Option C is dangerously incorrect - a component working in AEM 6.x on-premise does not guarantee compatibility with the Cloud Service runtime, which enforces stricter immutability and OSGi constraints. Option D skips the critical validation phase entirely, risking broken production deployments that are difficult to roll back in a cloud environment.

Memory tip: Think "BPA before you fly" - just like a pre-flight checklist catches problems before takeoff, the BPA tool catches incompatibilities before your migration goes live.
