As an Atlassian customer using Jira or Confluence on Data Center, you’re probably already familiar with Atlassian's plan to move the customer base to Cloud. If you’re already using one of our apps for Data Center, you can change your subscription to Cloud.
This page describes the automated migration using the Jira Migration Assistant.
Migration path
For a general overview on the migration visit Use the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant to migrate | Atlassian Support.
The migration will be fully automatic once Atlassian’s App migration platform is released.
Manual steps after migration
Make sure to create an application link in your Jira Cloud instance, too, to enable OAuth connections from the Outlook Add-In: Create application link (yasoon.com).
Migrated data
All app data will only be migrated, if they do not exist in the Jira Cloud instance.
Existing app data in the Jira Cloud instance will not be overwritten.
Email feature / Outlook Email for Jira
In the automated migration all your admin settings and project settings will be migrated to your Jira Cloud instance. If using the shared emails on DC also the shared emails will be migrated to Cloud.
Meetings feature / Outlook Meetings for Jira
In the automated migration all your admin settings and project settings will be migrated to your Jira Cloud instance. The history of scheduled meetings linked to Jira work items will be migrated.
Teams feature / Microsoft Teams for Jira
In the automated migration all your admin settings will be migrated to your Jira Cloud instance. In addition, all related chats and channel conversations for Jira work items will be migrated.
Feature differences Cloud vs. Data Center
Microsoft 365 for Jira is a cloud-first app - so there are a couple differences between the Jira Cloud app and the version for Jira Data Center.
Also, a few features are only available for Jira Service Management as they solely relate to ITSM.
