AEM Migration
AMS to Cloud Service migrations — from planning to production
Migrating from AEM on AMS (Adobe Managed Services) or on-premise AEM 6.x to AEM as a Cloud Service is one of the most complex engagements in the AEM ecosystem. It requires careful assessment of your existing codebase, content, OSGi configurations, and custom integrations — followed by methodical remediation before any content moves. Having contributed to enterprise migration projects involving large codebases and significant asset volumes, I help teams approach this with the right sequencing and tooling.
Coverage
What this covers
Migration Assessment & Planning
Evaluating your existing AEM implementation for cloud compatibility — identifying blocking issues in code, content, and configurations before work begins.
Repo Modernizer
Converting legacy multi-module AEM project structures to the cloud-compatible single-module format using Adobe's Repo Modernizer tool.
Index Converter
Migrating custom Oak Lucene index definitions to the AEMaaCS-compatible format — one of the more technically nuanced parts of a migration.
Content Transfer Tool (CTT)
Planning and executing content extraction and ingestion using Adobe's Content Transfer Tool — including delta migrations, migration sets, and validation.
Workflow Migrator
Converting custom workflow models to cloud-compatible equivalents — or redesigning workflows to use the new cloud-native process execution model.
Asset Migration at Scale
Strategies for migrating large asset volumes (10TB+) — migration tooling, metadata mapping, rendition strategies, and DAM validation post-migration.

Why work with me
Practical large-scale experience
I have contributed to migration projects involving 30TB+ of digital assets and large multi-site AEM codebases — across Financial Services, Retail, and other enterprise sectors.
Risk-first approach
Migrations fail when teams underestimate technical debt. I prioritise assessment and remediation planning before any migration execution — avoiding the costly rework of discovering blockers mid-migration.
Post-migration validation
A migration isn't done at go-live. I help teams build validation checklists, smoke tests, and operational runbooks so the team owns the new environment confidently.
