Introducing Data Residency for Connect Apps

Data Residency

The new install process is clear but what is the event flow for a customer that is moving from one region to another?

Now all data for my app is loaded in the EU, the Ireland AWS region to be precise. As I understand it the customer needs to uninstall and reinstall the app to move to the US. I would imagine that the customer would be expecting its data to be moved as well. Will the installation lifecycle include fields to indicate the region move? Or will the app need to handle this without being notified from Jira?

I am also intrested to know the answer for this scenario

lets say a user is using the product in a region and later pins to a specific region
which gets scheduled and migrated

do the existing(installed) apps get any notification like install event? so that the app specific data can be migrated.

@PurnaChandraBoyapati @markrekveld some of those questions are answered here How to migrate customers to the correct region after releasing data residency support

There’s a migration process that customers can trigger for their Jira/Confluence instances documented under the “Request a data residency move” section

While we’re moving your product to its new location, it will be offline and your users won’t be able to access it. This process takes around two to four hours, depending on the size and type of your data. You should, however, plan for your product to be offline for up to 24 hours.
This is due to how we schedule data residency moves. When you request a move, you select a 24-hour move window. We’ll start and finish your move during this time, but we cannot say exactly when. So you can follow our progress, we’ll email you when your move starts, and when it’s finished and your product is back online.

At the moment there are no Connect webhooks to allow apps to migrate their data during that migration window.

Hi,

When pinning an Atlassian instance to a specific region I have noticed that the prior regionBaseUrl is still used.

It only updates to the correct regionBaseUrl after a reinstall of the app.

Should this URL switch be happening without the need for a reinstall?

Thanks

Not yet. Atlassian are working on a Connect integration that will let apps move their data during the host product move as far as I know, once that’s complete and apps have integrated with it then moving the region of the host product can trigger changing the region specific app domain that’s being used.

Hi all,

I just wanted to circle back on this discussion and ask the following questions:

  • Is Data Residency for apps now considered production-ready, EAP or “experimental”?
  • What are the plans (timelines) on the Atlassian side for supporting realm-to-realm migration for apps?

Thank you.

Anyone from Atlassian who would like to respond to Community request: a final definitive complete all encompassing announcement on Data Residency?

Regarding data residency - is there a Connect API or REST API for checking where Jira (or Confluence) is installed?

As far as I know, no there isn’t. We have also been asking for this but to no avail. (I hope somebody from Atlassian will correct me on this.)
