Cloud migration resources roundup: July 2021

[#1]

Hey everyone! Jacob again with all the new cloud migration resources we created in the past month. If you happened to miss June's roundup, there may be some interesting resources there as well.

I’m most excited to share that we’ve begun our phased rollout of data residency to new and existing cloud licenses for Standard and Premium for Jira Software, Confluence, and Jira Service Management at no additional cost! Read our announcement to understand the details of the rollout and when you can expect to see data residency enabled for your license(s).

This month we've released so many great blogs and Community posts that address some of your biggest questions around migrations, including security questions, pitfalls to avoid, migration tools, and cloud benefits for specific roles and industries. And don't forget to check out our tried and true below.

Happy migrating!

Jacob
