Automatic schema updates
Schema updates can be done manually or automatically, as described here. The Update-EPiDatabase cmdlet manually updates the database scheme as described in Updating configuration and database schemas .
Configure email server
For Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) to send out email notifications (for example, to users who are working with projects or content approvals), or if you are using Forms and want to send emails from form postings, you need to configure your email server. Specify an SMTP server endpoint that is reachable from the site and can send emails using the specified from-address.
Configure CDN
In Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), requests to the web server often come from an edge server and not from the actual client; the HttpContext. Request.
Database mode
The database mode configuration has ReadWrite and ReadOnly options. The ReadWrite mode is the default mode, and the application works normally.
Deploy CMS
Because Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) bases its solution on ASP. NET Core, you can deploy it on operating systems other than Windows.
Install database schema
Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) uses Microsoft SQL Server to store content and other information created in the system. CMS supports database editions, including SQL Azure.
Manage cloud licenses
Cloud-based licensing works a bit differently than licenses used in an on-premises installation. Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) licenses are available from the Optimizely license portal https //license.
Plan deployments
Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) is a scalable platform that you can deploy in many ways on a single server, virtual machines, web farm network clusters, or in a cloud-based or locally hosted environment. There are many good approaches for website development, from classic to iterative.
Set up multiple sites
Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) is multi-tenant , which means that a single running instance of CMS can host multiple websites. A multi-site setup is a solution where sites share the same file structure on the web server and the same database for storage.
Store UTC date and time in the database
By default, the Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to store data and times in the database. One advantage of this is that you can change the web server’s time zone or move the database between time zones.
