Hi Community,
I’m Partha, the Head of Cloud Migrations at Atlassian. We are committed to making it as easy as possible for our customers to move to cloud and have been actively investing in our cloud migration tooling over the past few years.
Today, I’m excited to announce 6 migration-related early access programs coming over the next 6 months. These are opportunities for migrating customers to try out improvements to our migration tooling early, before the capabilities are widely available. If you want some extra tooling to use as you migrate - and you’re comfortable using and providing feedback on Beta software - these programs are for you. Early access programs are an important way that customers can influence Atlassian’s product roadmap.
We’re running early access programs for the following migration functionality:
Automated app migrations: Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (learn more here)
Jira cloud to cloud migrations (We have reached capacity and are no longer recruiting customers for this program)
Jira Service Management migrations
Advanced Roadmap migrations
Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant
If you sign up, but something changes and you can no longer participate, you can leave the program at any time.
Indicate which program(s) you’d like to participate in. Feel free to sign up for more than one!
Stay tuned. To share updates and instructions on how to activate the capabilities via feature flags, we’ll either send you a new MOVE ticket (if you don’t already have one) or communicate through your existing MOVE ticket. MOVE tickets are Atlassian support tickets on getsupport.atlassian.com. These programs will start at various times over the next 6 months, so if we’re not quite ready for a MOVE ticket yet, we’ll get in touch to communicate next steps.
Dates are subject to change. We will continue to update this post with the most up-to-date timeline.
Automated app migrations: Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant: Live
Jira cloud to cloud migrations: Live
Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant: Live
We’ll help customers who sign up determine if they’re eligible to participate, so if you’re interested, we encourage you to sign-up!
You’re currently migrating or planning to migrate to cloud
You’re comfortable installing, troubleshooting and using software that is still in Beta
You are migrating the products or apps that we are building tooling for - eligibility determined by the program you sign up for (i.e. Confluence apps, JSW apps, JSW cloud, JSM, Advanced Roadmaps, or Bitbucket)
You’ll get early access to migration tooling features that can make cloud migrations easier and quicker. Your requirements will also have a big influence on how Atlassian will develop the functionality needed to solve any challenges encountered during the early access program.
Throughout the program, you’ll have access to support from Atlassian. We’ll be maintaining a dedicated content space with the information you’ll need. The space will be monitored, so if you have feedback or questions on the documentation, you can respond directly within the space.
We'll be asking participants for feedback on the migration capabilities and any opportunities for improvement. This feedback will help us understand customer needs and how we can make these capabilities even better before we roll them out widely to all customers.
You’ll be able to deliver feedback through the same Jira MOVE ticket that we use to send you updates and instructions for activating the feature flags.
If you have any questions about these programs, please comment below and we’ll get your questions answered. If you’d like to sign up for one of our early access programs, please complete this form: go.atlassian.com/appmigrationseap
Best,
