Xray Migration Server to Cloud

Our team is preparing to migrate our data from the server to the cloud by the end of the year. In parallel, stakeholders plan to purchase the Xray addon. My team's goal is to replicate the current on-premise functionality of Xray in the new cloud environment. I am currently focused on understanding the scope of this transition, with a particular emphasis on what capabilities might be lost

Hi @Alonzo Kennedy 

JCMA can take all Xray related data from Server to Cloud in the migration.

They have a full migration path. (migration path)

Be aware that Xray on cloud works different in some ways as Cloud is a complete different entity then Server or DC

Make users of Xray aware that the working an look and feel can differ, provide them with a UAT environment in cloud (sandbox) and the Xray cloud documentation

Thank you for sharing these details on the Xray migration. It's good to know that the JCMA (Jira Cloud Migration Assistant) offers a full migration path for Xray data from Server to Cloud.

I appreciate you highlighting that the user experience and functionality of Xray on Cloud differ from the Server and Data Center versions. Providing a UAT sandbox environment and the official Xray Cloud documentation is an excellent strategy to help users adapt to these changes.

This information provides a helpful overview and lays out the key migration considerations. To build on this, is there a resource available that clearly outlines the specific differences between the Server and Cloud versions of Xray? A side-by-side comparison or a feature breakdown would be extremely valuable for preparing our teams and setting the right expectations.
