EAP overview
Latest update
Thanks, @EliasBrattliSorensen . Regarding the EAP period, the way we understand it, we’ve been in it since March, when we published the first EAP build and the majority of breaking changes you have already seen or experienced. This EAP will be focused on exposing Platform 7 integration, which is the last piece of the puzzle.
If all goes well(the happy path) you can expect
one more EAP build ~ first half of July - focused on polishing the Platform integration
RC towards the end of July

@NandishSolanki @GregBillington @remie @rlander
We’re on track to have Bitbucket 9.0 complete and ready to ship in late June - just under 4 weeks from now. But I see how that’s a tight deadline for partners that have to migrate several plugins across multiple products. Given the concerns raised here, we’ve decided to hold the release for an additional 4 weeks.
We commit to releasing Bitbucket 9.0 no earlier than 23 July - 8 weeks after the release of this first EAP.
I’m hoping that helps to …

@EliasBrattliSorensen @remie thank you very much for the extensive feedback! I’ve passed it to all the DC product teams, so we could learn from this experience and work on improving it for the next platform release. We hear you that you need more time for testing compatibility and assuring the quality. The best we can do in this particular situation is to extend the time to 6 weeks between EAP and GA. We plan to release the EAP in the last week of June, so the GA would happen mid-August. We will…

Platform 7 resources
In addition, there are some generic platform 7 resources that might be useful:
This page contains announcements and updates for developers from various products, platforms, and programs across Atlassian. It includes filter controls to make it easier to only see updates relevant to you.
Docker images
For those who are using docker, you can use the official docker images from Docker hub.
https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence
https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/jira-software
https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bitbucket
https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bamboo
In order to use the EAP releases, search the tag list for the version of the latest EAP release. For instance, for Confluence this would be: atlassian/confluence:9.0.0-{milestone}-ubuntu-jdk17
Contributions welcome!
Please let me know if any of the above needs an update by commenting on this topic!

Thank you for making this overview @remie !
I suggest also adding links for finding and tracking docker images / release artifacts.
Maybe adding something like this?

Docker images
EAP artifacts and images are frequently released, incrementing milestones in 9.0.0-m-x.
Confluence docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence
Pull artifact example: docker pull atlassian/confluence:9.0.0-m97-ubuntu-jdk17
It’s also relevant to link to the developer changelog under Platform 7 resources, since it is likely to contain Platform 7 information and updates: Atlassian developer changelog
Bitbucket update @remie : Bitbucket Data Center 9.0 Early Access Program release - #20 by bplump .
We commit to releasing Bitbucket 9.0 no earlier than 23 July - 8 weeks after the release of this first EAP.
Bamboo update : estimated EAP release end of june, estimated GA release mid-august
We hear you that you need more time for testing compatibility and assuring the quality. The best we can do in this particular situation is to extend the time to 6 weeks between EAP and GA. We plan to release the EAP in the last week of June, so the GA would happen mid-August. We will also make sure not to release on the same day / week as Bitbucket.

I’ve added the EAP links to each of the products, but I’m hesitant to add the docker images as this can become outdated pretty quickly
