Content Distribution - Next generation of Content Replication ?

Hi ,

I have come across in AEM 6.2 release notes that Sling Content Distribution (SCD) is next generation of Replication [0] . I knew that SCD is used for User Profile Sync across various instances , AS SCD works on packages , It is also known that there are slight delays while syncing data across various instances[2] ,As per [1] ,It also gives impression that SCD is used only when there are infrequent updates . 

Considering above points , Can we replace existing replication from (Author -> Publish) with SCD  ?  As replication being is a very frequent activity , Can SCD  be replaced with replication , If so for every content change in page is creates a package in package manager console ,Over a period of time  package manager is loaded  with thousands of packages . Please provide your comments .

    I would suggest that you follow the official documentation on replication: 

    https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/configuring/replication.html

    Do not replace use of the official way with SCD.

    Hi Dinesh,

    the references to SCD being the next generation of replication is a statement of intent and future direction, there is nothing in any of the documentation to suggest that it should be used to replace replication for AEM 6.2

    As and when SCD is deemed ready to be used to replace the current method of replication, an official statement will be made, until then there is little value in discussing the pro's/cons of the current iteration of SCD and it's ability to replace replication in AEM.

    Regards,

    Opkar
