- C. Avoid using fragments and create custom HTML for each experience
- D. Store all content outside of the AEM repository in an external CMS
- When implementing a search feature in AEM, how would you minimize performance impact while ensuring accurate search results?
- A. Query the entire JCR repository for each search request
- B. Implement Oak indexes for commonly searched fields and use search predicates
- C. Execute search logic directly in front-end JavaScript

- D. To deploy content packages
- When configuring asset storage in AEM, what strategy would you employ to manage storage efficiently while maintaining performance?
- A. Store all assets in the default repository without compression
- B. Implement an external DAM or use cloud storage connectors for large assets
- C. Limit asset uploads to a specific user role
- D. Store assets in the Publish instance only
- As you design the structure of AEM permissions, which principle is essential for maintaining a secure and scalable environment?
- A. Grant global permissions to all users to streamline access
- B. Define user groups and assign roles based on the principle of least privilege
