I'm trying to upgrade Jira using Ansible script. I have created atlassian support ticket and they had no clue on this automation process. But the atlassian people suggested to post this question on community. Hope I will find the answers from here.
Here is my support ticket link:
https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/20/GHS-145007
This is the article, I followed for Jira automation:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/unattended-installation-938846846.html
I would like to explain, how my playbook works for upgrade:
So, when I run the playbook it will download Jira bin Installer and provides permissions to file and runs the installer. The upgrade process takes backup of atlassian directory, check the plugins compatibility, compare & copy the modified/new configuration files with existing/old configuration files, check the Jira user & permissions. Then it upgrades to latest version. This is the complete process of Jira upgrade using ansible script. Also, I would like to inform, I'm automating Jira with empty data in my local machine it doesn't give any errors.
My question is does it cause any problems, If I run Dev environment?
Some Atlassian people tried to automate Jira and they had some problems. I found this article in community. Please go through it.

Any suggestions or concerns on this automation process. If anyone tried and already got succeeded please I need your Inputs.
Thanks,
Kumar
