With the EoL for Server back in 2024, and the upcoming EoL for Data Center infrastructure in 2029, the concept of migrating your Atlassian work to the Cloud has never been more important.
For the most part, Atlassian Consultancies have leant into the sheer scale of required migrations by working to standardise and rationalise working practices, and in so doing have commoditised the market. This approach has been great for a large number of the smaller and simpler migrations which need to occur in the market, and allows for a relatively quick, standardised turnaround for these engagements. The challenge comes with scale and complexity - and with a large number of more complex Data Center instances needing to migrate over the coming years, this gap is going to be felt harder now than ever.
In this (generously described as) five-part series, Jamie Sawyer, Director at Echidna Solution and 15-year veteran of the Atlassian Ecosystem provides the tools you need to truly understand the world of Atlassian Cloud Migrations, as we move into the End of Life for the Data Center line of products.
Released twice a week, this short series of articles will help teams looking to plan out their own migrations, providing as much background context as Jamie could fit!
We will be releasing a consolidated PDF entitled The Complete Guide to Cloud Migrations in the near future. At over 100 pages, and including exclusive bonus content not available in the blog posts, this version will make for easier reading and sharing. Early access is expected to begin prior to the 24th April 2026 - if you want to receive a copy, please fill in the form linked below!
