There has been a recent uptick in businesses switching to Cloud infrastructure. Atlassian cloud migration computing has long been seen as the future and with recent advancements in data residency, it’s clear that now is the time to move.
We are an Atlassian solution partner with a Cloud Specialization for your Cloud transition. Read more to understand all your migration requirements. Planning and consideration are needed for successful cloud migration. Our best guide is here to help you navigate the transition.
Authentication
Your email address is your login to all Atlassian cloud-based server products. You may access them using the Atlassian ID automatically generated when you sign up. Your usernames vary if you authenticate using LDAP or the internal directory on the Atlassian server.
This must be considered throughout the migration process. If single sign-on is desired, Atlassian access and its supported identity suppliers are in order.
Tidy up Your Data
Many people have spoken about this before. The cloud migration assistant center even mentions it in its preliminary materials. The less you keep from your old server instance, the less you will have to clean up after the production migration.
Consider reviewing finished projects, custom fields left unused, backups, and alternative plans. If you move a small amount of data, you will feel much more at ease.
Verify Your Apps, APIs and Cloud Features
You probably already know you should investigate whether your current Jira software has a Cloud-based equivalent, but that is just half the battle.
Similarly, it’s wise to review and test the functionality of all your applications to ensure that they will perform as you want them to since the APIs in the Cloud are distinct from the server version. It would prevent your business from moving forward to your destination site if the developer was not planning to accomplish it in the server version.
It’s not an ideal idea to try out the product in its cloud version first to see whether it meets your needs. In addition, any apparent holes would ruin your business.
Learn How to Migrate Properly
Knowing what your pre-migration checklist has allows you to settle on a strategy for getting there. Make sure you are not taking anything you should not and make the most of the chance to simplify data, workloads, processes, and archive data.
Cloud Migration Trial
Use Atlassian’s test migration features to conduct tests up to Jira cloud migration time. A free, extended trial is available for your existing Atlassian subscription.
This is if you are moving from a Jira server or data center. This helps identify potential problems with your migration assistant plan before executing it.
Transform Your Administration
Improve the quality of your service to end consumers by instituting proper governance. Assigning Jira site import duties from your governance documents to roles will help you out. Ensure all your users have access to the guidelines you have compiled for maintaining a healthy environment for your instances.
Maintain Internal Communication
Inform your customers and marketplace partners about your plans to move to the Atlassian cloud in advance. Creating before and after documentation showing the expected changes may help with the transition.
If there will be any source site modifications to the procedure or users need to re-authenticate on the new system before proceeding as normal, outline the specifics in detailed detail to prevent a flurry of calls just before the switch.
Strategies for Migrating that are Recommended
Migrating to cloud-based Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket versions may be accomplished in many ways. When moving app data from a server to the Cloud, we advise using our free Atlassian migration tools.
To facilitate cloud-to-cloud migration and automated app changes, Atlassian is heavily investing in enhancing the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant and the Confluence cloud migration assistant.
What Makes Cloud Special
While your Jira service management team will need to take care of things like hosting, upgrades, and more with our self-managed solutions, an Atlassian partner can handle all of that with our Jira cloud offerings. Automatic version upgrades ensure that you have the most recent fixes, enhancements, and security patches.
