How does data residency work in the Atlassian Cloud?

Letzte Überarbeitung:1. March 2023

As we explained in our article on data residency, data residency is a concept of Cloud computing where the geographic location of the data is determined. If you work in highly regulated industries, such as the financial sector, data residency may be necessary to run a Cloud application in the first place.

Thanks to Atlassian’s concept, it is possible for Jira Software, Jira Service Management and Confluence to choose the location where your in-scope product data is stored.

These locations are available for selection

Global – all Atlassian Clouds in the AWS region

Australia – Sydney AWS region

EU – Frankfurt and Dublin AWS regions

USA – USA East and USA West

Germany – Frankfurt AWS Region

Why can’t user account data be pinned?

Atlassian stores user account information in a central identity service and a controlled small group of replica services. Account information data is hosted globally to meet Atlassian customers’ agile performance requirements. By limiting the digital footprint in the system, information is not stored directly in the product. Instead, Atlassian uses representative IDs that can be used to retrieve the data from identity services.
