  What is Acquia Cloud and how is deployment handled there? Acquia Cloud is a managed Drupal hosting platform built on AWS that provides autoscaling, security, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools like Insight and New Relic. Code deployment is Git-based — we push code to the repository, and Acquia pipelines promote the branch to Dev, Stage, or Prod environments. Production is read-only, ensuring controlled deployments.

  What is the difference between Configuration and Content in Drupal? Give examples. Configuration represents the site structure and behavior stored in YAML files — such as content types, views, fields, permissions, and site settings. Content is the actual data stored in the database — like nodes, users, taxonomy terms. Configuration is deployed across environments using config management, while content is environment-specific.
