      Atlassian Update – April 27, 2022    

      Hi everyone,

      This is a delayed update, but one I am very happy to share.

      The Cloud-to-cloud migration tool was released to all Jira instances in Dec 2021. It is in “Beta” right now, and currently supports Jira Core and JSW (company-managed projects only). You can read details about the feature at https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/cloud-to-cloud-migration/.

      We want to thank all the customers who participated in the early access program. Your feedback and patience has helped us tremendously and made it possible for us to make it available to all customers.

      Over the last few months we have continued working on cloud-to-cloud tool to create a more stable and reliable migration journey. We recently hit a milestone of 1K unique customers using the tool by serving 1257 customers in March 2021.

      I also want to update the Swarna Mehta is the new Product Manager looking after this. She is tagged as the new owner of the ticket.

      Thank you everyone for your support through this journey.

      Best wishes,
      Ritesh Ranjan
      Product Manager, Migrations

       

      Through working with JIRA Cloud support, I learned that the only way to move a project from one instance to another, is to create a full backup, and import into the new instance. Then delete all of the projects in the new instance that did not need to transfer. 

      We use JIRA and Confluence for managing many different projects. Some of them have thousands of Issues, and some have been in use for over 10 years. When our support efforts were for a project that wanted to migrate to its own instance, we were stuck in a 2 month process of figuring out how to make that happen. 

      There should be more convenient functionality to move a project (Jira, Confluence, and any add-ons) between two cloud instances.
