"The official post states that "nearly all our new customers" are choosing cloud and that there are benefits in AI search, chat and automation, thanks to its Rovo offering. Sales of new datacenter subscriptions cease on March 30 2026, new licenses for existing customers end on March 30 2028, and all licenses expire on March 28, 2029, designated as "end of life.""
"Bitbucket datacenter will remain available via a hybrid license option, the reason given being that "source code is particularly sensitive." There is also a get-out for certain customers with "unique circumstances" though the nature of these is not specified. Migration options include self-service tools aimed at organizations with fewer than 1000 users, and a FastShift program involving a dedicated Atlassian team for larger organizations."
"Will customer moving to cloud pay more? Atlassian quotes a case study showing a cost saving of 36 percent; but Rodney Nissen, an independent Atlassian consultant, reckons that "on average, we can expect those who migrate from DC to Cloud to pay around 28 percent more," and in practice even more than that because of added-cost options such as Atlassian Guard which may become necessary. It is only customers with 10,000 or fewer users who may save"
Atlassian is discontinuing datacenter products including Jira, Confluence and Bamboo and directing customers to Atlassian Cloud, while offering a hybrid license for Bitbucket. New datacenter subscription sales stop March 30, 2026; new licenses for existing customers end March 30, 2028; all datacenter licenses expire March 28, 2029. Cloud capabilities highlighted include AI search, chat and automation via the Rovo offering. Migration paths include self-service tools for organizations under 1,000 users and a FastShift program with a dedicated Atlassian team for larger migrations. Compliance gaps affect some customers, prompting FedRAMP and isolated single-tenant cloud options. Cost projections conflict, with a vendor case study showing 36% savings and an independent consultant estimating average increases around 28% for most migrations.
