Marketplace Apps and How They Work
The Atlassian Marketplace predominantly consists of applications developed by third-party partners. These partners collaborate closely with Atlassian, utilizing its tools and APIs to create innovative solutions, yet they operate independently from Atlassian itself.
While some Marketplace apps offer support for data residency, not all apps provide this capability. In cases where data residency is supported, users can request the relocation of their app data to match the location of their primary Atlassian product.
To achieve this reach out to the respective Marketplace partner responsible for managing and facilitating the app’s data movement.
It’s important to consider the following factors when initiating a data residency move for an app:
- Once the primary product data is relocated, users can request the transfer of eligible app data to the same location.
- Both the product and its associated apps will experience downtime during the app data migration process.
- App data migration requires a separate downtime window, as it can only proceed after the product data has been successfully pinned to the desired location.
- Certain apps may not support data migration due to various reasons, such as lack of support for data residency in the same location as the host product or current limitations in data residency functionality.
Wrapping it Up
Data Residency in the cloud offers organizations the flexibility, security, and compliance they need to thrive in today’s digital environment. Take control of your data today and unlock the full potential of your Atlassian products with Data Residency.
