How easy to migrate Jira server from one server/hosting provider to another server/hosting provider

Question

We are a non-profit considering moving to Jira server (from Jira cloud).  We are going to recreate everything from scratch this time, but in a year or two if we want to move to AWS from a cheaper server, will that be pretty easy to move over and retain all our workflows, forms, and data?  Or will that be a big lift?

Hi @Shubha_Bala and Community!

We've just built the beta of a solution to help ease migrations from Server/Data-Center-on-prem to Data-Center-on-AWS-Quickstarts.

Would you be interested to join our beta program and try out this solution when you're considering to start moving to AWS? If you're interested, or would like to find out more, please email me at echan@atlassian.com.

Hi Shubha,

It's not a hard work, you can export a backup and import it on your new instance.
