What questions do you have about Cloud migrations?

Elizabeth Howden

Hi Community,

At Atlassian, we're always working to make Cloud migrations easier. In addition to resources like the Cloud Migration Center and the Cloud Migration Demo, we're active in this collection looking for questions to be answered or places we can help out.

Plus, what's even better is that Community is filled with tons of Migration MVPs: customers who have been there before and know what it takes to make a migration successful.

So, let's get a discussion going. What migration questions do you have? Feel free to post a question of your own or jump in to help out!

Cheers,

Elizabeth

Hi @Elizabeth Howden

One question, support to Atlassian Server Products ends on Feb, 24th , 2024 according https://www.atlassian.com/migration/journey-to-cloud. What would happen to those instances if someone does not opt with in the end of support? How would you guide those cases and provide best solution on those cases?

Hi @Suvradip Paul!

You will still be able to access your Server instance should you choose not to move to Atlassian Cloud or Data Center. The Server end of life date just means that support and bug fixes will no longer be available for your Server products, so eventually should you chose not to migrate your Server instance, you might run into issues down the road.

As a Server customer you are also eligible to try our extended free Cloud migration trial if you'd like to evaluate Cloud at your own pace—no credit card required.

Thanks for making this clear.

Hi,

maybe it was answered somewhere, but I wasn't able to find any info about the future of Automation for Jira (server / DC application).

Please, are there any plans to make it part of the server / DC the same way as Portfolio, Team Calendards etc?

Thank you.

Hi @Hana Kučerová!

If you review the Jira Data Center roadmap, you can see all the recently shipped and upcoming features. Automation for Jira will be available in Data Center by Q2-Q3 2022. It will not be available in Server, since we announced in February 2021 we ceased any future product development for the Server line.

That being said, while we still continue to support Data Center feature development, the majority of Atlassian investment will be in Cloud innovation. Eligible Server and Data Center customers are invited to try our extended free Cloud migration trial if you'd like to evaluate Cloud at your own pace—no credit card required.

Hi there!

Just one quick question: How can I ever have hope that any cloud stuff will come anywhere near to the performance I am used to from my very own confluence server running on a moderately powerful hardware connected by LAN to my workstation?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but am I the only one with that problem?

Regards,

Bernhard

I think in general the network lag wont be as noticeable as you think.

*Your experience may vary

And the trade off comes with zero maintenance tasks and inbuilt redundancy

Hi @David Andrew , last time I tried the free cloud confluence the network lags were very noticeable. And talking about tradeoffs - zero maintenance but also zero availability if your internet link is down, which the "inbuilt redundancy" wont mitigate. And of course your content, your data is on somebody else´s system, a thought I still cannot get comfortable with, all declarations of innocence and encryption methods notwithstanding.

There is not enough info about what is causing your network lags. I'm in Tasmania, the end of the world nearly, and we are embracing Cloud solutions even though most are on mainland Australia. The lag and extra networking considerations are certainly a factor. But there will never be 100% uptime. Even a cupboard with the server and a UPS cannot guard against networking outages, or data ransoms, or other trojan infections.

Your DR solution is also vital, I am currently looking at creating a static offline copy of our space so we can recover if our knowledge base is offline.

Due diligence regarding how your data is stored and accessed is important, and this is where some heavy reading will take place to ensure the security meets your own requirements. There is a whole chain of trusts and certifications that you can follow through, but what ever you do eventually you have to trust someone. I can't do this work for you, if you want to understand it you need to find your own sources and verify them, but the truth is out there. For some of the government work I do, I also need regional guarantees, the data must be kept within regional boundaries.

If you are worried read the Atlassian doc's and the certifications.

Compliance at Atlassian | Atlassian

Then read what those certificates mean, and verify that the certificate providers acknowledge the certificates. I will personally also take into account who else trusts them, the certificates and the products. This will only be more relevant if you intend to remain working in Info Tech.

As an example I can only trust the reputable sources to tell me there is an issue with an SSL cert provider, and the appropriate actions to take. I don't have the time or resources to test everything myself.

I hope that helps
