Hi @Susmita Sahoo The system requirement of VM is based on the size of your current Jira instance like number of users, issue, projects, schemes (workflow, screens, issuetype, field configuration, etc) you can get this stats from the Jira system info page.

Please refer the below sizing guide for reference.

Based on the version 8.13.22 you can also check the supported platform details like what database you need to use and shared file system (Elastic file system)

As you are installing the Datacenter version of Jira with 2 nodes running then you also need a load balancer to redirect the traffic between these nodes, node local disk storage with good r/w iops are indexes are stored in local home so need good r/w speed to avoid any performance issues.

Please check this and let me know if you any more details.

Best,
