Integrate Atlassian cloud and Data Center/Server

You can integrate Atlassian cloud and self-managed (Data Center and Server) products by using cloud connectors, application links, or several in-product integrations. Integrating Atlassian cloud and self-managed products is common if you’re migrating your products to cloud one by one, and need to have them connected while doing it, or simply choose to host some products locally for longer.

Overview of Atlassian integrations

Starting with Jira 11.3 and Confluence 10.2, we’re introducing cloud connectors — a new approach to linking Data Center and cloud via Admin Hub. In this approach, application links remain the method of connection and are now enhanced with OAuth 2.0. See details on connecting Data Center to cloud in Admin Hub.

You can integrate Atlassian products by using:

  • cloud connectors (available for Jira 11.3 or later and Confluence 10.2 or later)
  • application links 
  • several in-product integrations

Learn about the difference between the available integrations, and how they affect your network. Each integration method offers different features and network impacts. We recommend using both application links and in-product integrations to get the most value.

Integrate your products

If you’re ready to integrate your products, follow these steps. The steps will differ based on the Data Center version you’re using.

For Jira 11.3 or later or Confluence 10.2 or later:

  1. Connect Data Center to cloud with cloud connector
  2. Connect the needed cloud apps:

For all previous Data Center versions (earlier than Jira 11.3 and Confluence 10.2):

  1. Create application links
  2. Configure in-product integrations

We’ve ordered them in the recommended way, but you’re free to choose just one of these types if it meets your needs.
