How to find whether my JIRA instance is hosted on cloud or datacenter

Question

Hello Community,

Hope everyone is doing well :)

We had got some requirement that is we need to create a friendship connection between JIRA Software and Polarion Requirement Management but now i have asked some question that where exactly our JIRA instance is hosted?

Is it on cloud or in some data center, could anyone help me to know that as JIRA Admin do i have access to get information about hosting? and what are the suff that i need to provide to IT team of Polarion from my end?

Thanks!!

Another approach is to go to Help, Find out what's changed in Jira. If the page is about Cloud changes, then it is Cloud Jira

Keep in mind that since recently, Jira & Confluence cloud domains can actually be fully customized: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Custom-domains-for-Jira-and-Confluence/ba-p/2729259

So, the statement 'ending with .atlassian.net' is not always 100% correct anymore in identifying cloud vs datacenter :)

@Rajat Krishnan anything that ends with atlassisn.net >> Jira cloud

Jira server / DC can have any custom name/ip associated to it, + a jira server/dc can be hosted on a cloud instance like AWS/Azure however the functionality remains the same for a Jira admin. Only the sys admin role on managing the infrastructure may vary.
