Jira docker image deployed on kubernetes

Hi listers,

We are using Jira docker image deployed on kubernetes and we paying Jira support. My question: are we impacted by the end of life of the Jira server?

Hi @abdelkader_benmati 

Anyone using Jira server is impacted by the end of life. Jira server is end of support since February 2024.
If you run Jira server you won't get any support from Atlassian anymore and more importantly: no security updates.

You should replace your Jira server license with a Jira Data Center license. As long as you keep running 1 node of Jira you don't have to change anything about your setup technically.

Thanks Charlie for your prompt reply.

Do you mean, we keep our installation kubernetes as is and only request Data center license?

[Charlie Misonne]

yes you can request/ purchase a data center license and enter it in your current server instance. It will convert your Jira from server to datacenter.

You will basically get some extra features when installing a DC license. And you get the possibility to create a clustered setup (with multiple Jira nodes)

On Migrate from Server to Data Center | Atlassian Support | Atlassian Documentation you can read:

You can start using these Data Center features by simply upgrading your Server installation’s license.

Great. Thanks Charlie.

@abdelkader_benmati ,

It depends on the license you're using.

Go to System Administration Settings (cog wheel on the top right) > Applications > Versions & licenses and see if 'Data Center' is mentioned for the License Type:

Thanks Hans. I got it. Thanks for the print screen.
