Atlassian’s timeline

  1. · passed

    New customers can no longer buy Data Center subscriptions or Data Center apps.

  2. Last day for existing customers to buy new Data Center subscriptions, Marketplace apps and expansions.

  3. Subscriptions and Marketplace apps expire. Jira, Jira Service Management and Confluence Data Center become read-only.

What changes

  • No more updates or support

    After 28 March 2029 there are no more security updates, bug fixes or support for Data Center and its Marketplace apps.

  • Read-only

    Your data stays visible, but your teams can no longer create or edit tickets or pages.

  • Expansions until March 2028

    You can buy extra users, new subscriptions or new apps for Data Center until 30 March 2028.

Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center are not part of this end of life.

What you can do now

A good move starts long before the migration itself. You can take these steps today.

  • Map your environment

    Users, projects and spaces, apps, integrations, scripts and customisations: what is there and who uses it?

  • Review your apps one by one

    Is there a Cloud version, does it do the same and what does it cost? Or is what Atlassian Cloud offers as standard enough?

  • Clean up before you move

    Unused projects, fields, workflows and apps do not need to come along. The less baggage, the smoother the migration.

  • Arrange access and security

    Decide how users sign in to Cloud and how they are managed: single sign-on, provisioning via SCIM and Atlassian Guard.

  • Plan licences and budget

    Set the term of your Data Center licences against the Cloud plan and the number of users you need.

  • Allow for a test migration and training

    A trial migration shows what needs to improve. Also plan time to take your users along to the new environment.

How we approach the move

  1. Assessment

    We map your environment, apps, integrations and users and estimate the impact of a migration.

  2. Migration plan

    We choose the approach and timeline, including alternatives for apps that do not exist in Cloud.

  3. Test migration

    We first migrate to a test environment, so your teams can validate everything before the real move.

  4. Move and aftercare

    We migrate, support your users and set up governance and security.

Frequently asked questions

Can we still access our data after 28 March 2029?

Yes. Data Center then becomes read-only: your data stays visible, but you can no longer create or change anything. Updates and support stop.

Do we have to migrate everything at once?

No. A migration can be done in phases, for example by team, project or space. In the migration plan we choose the order with the least risk for you.

Will our apps work in Cloud?

Not always in the same way. Some apps have a Cloud version with different features, others do not exist in Cloud. That is why we map the apps early.

What about Bitbucket and Bamboo?

Bitbucket and Bamboo Data Center are not part of this end of life and will continue after 2029.
