Upgrade to enhance your Server / Data Center to Cloud migration experience

[#1]

Hello Atlassian community,

We continue to release new versions of the Jira and Confluence Cloud Migration Assistants to provide the best migration experience.

We’ll require all migrating customers to upgrade their Cloud Migration Assistants, so that we can provide a more secure and reliable migration experience. We’ll also require that customers upgrade to Confluence Server/Data Center 6.15 or higher before using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant.

This means, starting January 31, 2023, we’ll deprecate support for the following:

Jira Cloud Migration Assistant 1.7.1 and lower

Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant 3.3.6 and lower

Confluence Server / Data Center 6.14 and lower (when using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant)

Starting September 19, 2022, you can upgrade to:

Jira Cloud Migration Assistant 1.7.3 or higher

Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant 3.3.7 or higher

Confluence Server / Data Center 6.15 or higher before using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant

Why you need to upgrade

As we continue to mature and expand our Atlassian Cloud platform with new capabilities like data residency and BYOK, newer versions of Jira Cloud Migration Assistant and Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant will ensure a more reliable Cloud migration experience.
