How to find the current run mode of working AEM instance

Statement - Find the current run mode
Environment - AEM 6.3 GA

Solution:

The fastest way to retrieve all active run modes that are enabled within a running AEM instance would be from the OSGI console, Apache Sling Settings.

Follow below two simple steps below:

1. Log in to AEM as an admin or a user who has access to the OSGI console using this URL: http://localhost:4502/crx/de/index.jsp
2. Navigate to the Apache Sling Settings OSGI console page http://localhost:4502/system/console/status-slingsettings

see the below current run mode details of AEM instanceApache Sling Settings
