@Suresh Parasuraman First of all welcome to the community!
Now jumping to your question, I realized that there is some gap in understanding.
Jira and Confluence come in three variants,
- Server version
- You need to install it on your own hardware
- Self managed
- Yearly license (after first year you need to buy support license)
- Data Center Version
- Exactly same as server version, but have multi-node capacity
- Useful for large instances
- Billing is same as server but prices are high
- Cloud version
- Managed by Atlassian,
- Don't need any installation
- Monthly/Yearly billing as per number of users
Let me now take your question based on each variant,
Now, if you are going for a Server/DC variant,
- you need to install it on your own hardware (like your AWS instance, or dedicated server).
- Manage its backup etc.
- For this, you can buy license for Jira and Confluence both in one bill (this is like adding multiple item to cart and checkout)
- You have to install Jira and Confluence seperatly
- They can be on same machine (if you have enough memory and cpu)
- They can be linked together using Application links
if you are going with Cloud,
- You need to sign up for a cloud site (site name) on behalf of your organization.
- Like if you can pick 'charlie' as your site name, and
- your access url will be, https://charlie.atlassian.net
- remember 'atlassian.net' is constant here (as of now).
- Once your site is activated, you enable any product, like Jira, Confluence, Service Desk
- Billing will be done based on number of products you have enabled and number of users per product.
- You don't need to manage anything else.
