    Description

      The Quick Start template for JIRA Data Center on AWS will still be supported until Feb 29, 2024.


      I want to suggest that we have a method to choose the major Java version that will be used on the deployments.

      The Quick Start Template is still very relevant and commonly used, and in a few cases, the customers will need to choose a JAVA version different than the default one for deployment on AWS:

          atl_use_system_jdk: true
          java_major_version: "8"
          atl_download_format: "tarball"
      

      Support scripting and automation for DC Server deployments projects.

      The reason we find this to be relevant is that some 3rd-party plugins are now incompatible with JAVA 8, Ie.:

      "com/keplerrominfo/jira/plugins/jjupin/listener/impl/SilListenerConfig has been compiled by a newer version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0" 
      

      That error can easily be manually corrected but the auto-scaling feature won't create new nodes with the updated JAVA version, so customization of the template is required.

      It would be great to have that option on the Cloud Formation template.
