Data residency: Now you’re in charge of where your Atlassian Cloud data is hosted

JUL 2, 2021

Great news! From now on you have the possibility to choose where your Jira and Confluence data is stored - through a feature called data residency.

Eficode is the leading DevOps company in Europe, driving and building the future of software development across 10 countries, with 500+ experts in DevOps and sustainable software development. Our Eficode ROOT managed DevOps platform provides centralized access control and real-time visibility of project status, quality, and performance that integrates with 50+ of your preferred tools, including the Atlassian Stack and open-source systems like Jenkins and Kubernetes.

You have now three plans to choose between:  

  • Standard

  • Premium

  • Enterprise

Until now Atlassian has only offered customers with the Enterprise plan to choose where the data should be hosted. But with this great new initiative, Atlassian gives you more control within the other cloud plans as well.

So how does data residency work?

Data residency gives you control over where the so-called in-scope product data is hosted for: 

  • Jira Software 

  • Jira Service Management

  • Confluence 

It means that you are able to choose whether it’s globally distributed or held in place in a defined geographic location, such as Europe or the US.

How much does it cost?

Luckily this new native feature will not impact the price for the Standard or Premium cloud plans. If you have an existing Atlassian Cloud instance 

  • created before 30 June 2021: data residency will be automatically activated in October 2021. 

  • created after June 30 2021: data residency is active.
