Hi, my name is Pierre Tager. I am the Product Manager for Adobe CQ Cloud offering.
Today I want to walk you through a demo of a new add-on to CQ called CQ Cloud Manager.
In particular, I want to illustrate how the CQ web platform and cloud technologies
can bring agility and ease of integration to digital marketeers in their day-to-day job.
Let's pretend I am a marketeer working at a company called Geometrix
and I need to kick off the process of creating a new campaign or a microsite.
Here I am logged in to CQ Cloud Manager,
where I can see all the web initiatives I have created in the past.
Each of these clouds represent a campaign or a website that supports my web initiatives,
and along with the name of those websites or microsites
is the status of the campaign or particular deployment.
Green means it's running, red means it's stopped,
blue means it's still in progress of being deployed,
and yellow means it's paused and it can be restarted at any time.
To start the process of creating a new campaign, I simply click on the + sign.
I fill in the form.
Let's say I want to start a new campaign called GeometrixSpecials.
I'm going to enter my password for logging in as an administrator.
I'm going to select the provider where I want to deploy that particular campaign,
and I'm going to use Amazon, for instance.
And then I'm going to use a license that has been provided by Adobe.
I simply click on the Add button, and that will click in the process
of provisioning my new platform for supporting my campaign.
As you see, the process is now in progress,
and in a few minutes I will have a new CQ Cloud platform
ready for me to start creating my new campaign.
So instead of waiting for 10 minutes, I've actually started another campaign
right before we started.
Here's what is provisioned for you in the cloud.
You have a typical CQ deployment with a dispatcher, an author, and a publish.
To the right you have the monitoring information about your CPU load,
your memory usage, and the disk usage.
You can pause your deployment at any time, you can stop it and restore it from backups,
and you also have additional actions to scale up your deployment,
to back it up, to restore it, and eventually to remove it when you are done.
If we go to the author instance, this is where I can log in as an administrator.
Right now I can see the dashboard for CQ
and I can go into those different sections and start creating websites
or campaigns or a community forum, etc.
Now I would like to go over some of the new features that we have rolled out recently.
We've added support for Rackspace hosting.
So to create a new Account Cloud Manager for Rackspace,
I simply click on the Select button for Rackspace
and fill in the form with the name of the account,
the user name I use to log in to Rackspace,
I can add my API key right here, and then I can choose to deploy my platform
either in the US or in the UK, and I can choose from 3 different options for the instance sizes,
from small to large.
We have also extended our support for Amazon AWS.
If we go to that form for creating an account for AWS,
we now support all the regions that Amazon offers,
from US East to Sao Paulo in Brazil.
We also support different instance types, from micro to extra large,
and we've added storage sizes from 10 gigabytes all the way to 1 terabyte.
Finally, I want to show you some of the new features in the Packages section.
If you browse to the Packages section and click on + to add new packages to your platform,
we now support the feature to upload a new package.
So if you have built your own package and want to deploy it on your CQ instances,
you can use that upload.
After uploading, your package will show up under your user ID
within the folder that you have specified.
All right. That concludes our demos for today.
I want to thank you for your time, and I want to encourage you to log in to adobecqcloud.com
and sign up to use CQ Cloud Manager for your future web initiatives.
Thank you very much.
