While deploying JIRA Data Center on AWS using the Quick Start, you'll be asked to configure several parameters related to JIRA setup.
Configurable parameters
Here's a list of parameters that you can configure.
| JIRA product | JIRA Core, JIRA Software, or JIRA Service Desk. |
|---|---|
| Min. and max. number of cluster nodes | The number of JIRA instances in your environment. |
| JIRA instance type | The size of your JIRA environment, including vCPU, memory, and storage. See: JIRA instance sizes. |
| Database instance class | The size of your database, including vCPU, memory, and throughput. See: Database sizes. |
| JIRA and database passwords | Password for the JIRA and database users. |
| Database storage | Database allocated storage size, in gigabytes. |
| HA Database across Availability Zones | Database high availability, enabled or disabled. |
| Existing DNS name (optional) | Custom DNS name, e.g. jira.atlassian.com. See: Setting custom DNS name. |
| Catalina Options | JIRA startup parameters. |
