Hello Data Center Community,
By now, you’ve probably heard that Atlassian is taking a pivotal step in our commitment to a cloud-first future.
This news is significant and personal for many of us. Over the past 10 years, Data Center has been instrumental for your teams and projects, and has helped you unleash your full potential. We’d like to take a moment and say thank you. Thank you for your trust, your feedback, your late-night troubleshooting, and your relentless drive to make things better. You’ve helped shape what Atlassian is today.
Why this change, and why now?
Our job has always been to unleash the full potential of teams. Data Center was the right answer more than a decade ago. But as we look to the future, it’s clear that Data Center products will no longer be able to deliver on our core promise to customers: to supercharge teamwork, help you stay competitive, and drive faster innovation. These outcomes can only be fully realized with the power and innovation of our cloud platform.
To truly set you up for success, we need to provide you with so much more. On our cloud platform, you can unify your data for tailored experiences, bring AI on as a teammate, and move faster as a team with tightly integrated apps, all while staying protected against rising security threats. The reality is, the future of work is in the cloud, and organizations that embrace this shift are best positioned to thrive in an increasingly dynamic and connected world.
We’ve invested heavily in our data foundation as well as security, scale, and compliance so that Atlassian cloud can continue to meet the needs of all organizations, including large, complex, and regulated enterprises. As a result, today 75% of Atlassian’s most regulated and complex enterprise customers are in cloud or on a path to cloud.
To better support US government agencies and their partners with high security requirements, we are actively developing FedRAMP High and Impact Level 5 environments, with the goal of submitting them for authorization before the end-of-life date for Data Center products.
What’s the path forward?
To make this transition as smooth as possible, we’re winding down support in phases over the next three years, giving you plenty of time to plan your next steps.
Between now and then, we’re committed to supporting you with technical support, security updates, and building new connectors between Cloud and Data Center. This change won’t happen overnight. This transition will be phased over three years with the full support of our teams.
What does this mean for you?

Final thoughts
This isn’t the end of the story; it’s the start of a new chapter. We’re committed to being your partner as you navigate what’s next. Let’s keep the conversation going. Your feedback, your challenges, and your successes will shape the future of teamwork at Atlassian.
Thank you for everything you’ve built with Data Center. Now, let’s see what we can build together in the cloud.
With appreciation,
Gosia Kowalska
