Streamlined XM Cloud editing host management via CLI
Sitecore has introduced a major improvement for XM Cloud users: the new cloud editing host command in the Sitecore Command-Line Interface (CLI). This enables developers and DevOps teams to manage editing hosts directly from the terminal or within automated scripts. This will be a significant time-saver when deploying frontend code to XM Cloud.
Key benefits:
- No full redeploys: Editing host updates no longer require redeploying the entire authoring environment, cutting down deployment time significantly.
- Improved dev experience: Frontend deployments are now independent from the backend. Separate logs for each component make debugging faster and cleaner.
- Multiple editing hosts per environment: Manage multiple frontend experiences in a single environment—ideal for parallel development and testing.

I think that this is a great step forward. I really like this direction—moving towards clearer separation of concerns. Can’t wait for Sitecore to fully close the door on manual backend modifications.
Happy codin'!
