Automation for JIRA removed for Cloud?

Darryl Lee February 14, 2020

Weird I was trying to install Automation for JIRA on a new Cloud instance, and couldn't find it in the UPM.

The public listing here claims that JIRA Cloud is supported, but it no longer shows up in the Hosting Options drop-down:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215460/automation-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

Is anyone else seeing this?

Thankfully this is a new Staging instance I'm setting up, and in our Prod and Dev instances, Automation for JIRA is still there.

But it's annoying and mildly alarming that I can't install it on a new instance.

looks like it. Note that this was announced by Atlassian as they are integrating into cloud by default. As an A4J Lite user I received an email on this a couple of weeks back. I would reach out to Atlassian Support and see if it is integrated and they can update your instance. It might not be ready for release just yet and there is a grey-zone period of unavailability.

Hi @Darryl Lee ,

thanks for your message. The app has indeed been removed from the Atlassian Marketplace. We will have more information around the automation space really soon. 

Apologies for the inconvenience it is causing but we will have an update for customers soon. 

Sorry I can't be more specific but really appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Thanks, yes, I was just reading about how Atlassian was changing the billing tiers once they add it into Cloud natively. I'm new to the add-on, so didn't see that notice.

It was a little alarming to see these posts about the changes, as we have way more than 2000 executions/mo:
