Migrating to the cloud

Migrating to the cloud

This page is for Jira administrators who are migrating from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud.

Risk Register for Jira Data Center and Risk Register for Jira Cloud provide similar risk management capabilities, but they are implemented differently because Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud use different platform architectures. Before planning a migration, review Atlassian’s Jira Cloud Migration Assistant documentation so you understand the supported Jira migration process and JCMA prerequisites.

For Risk Register-specific guidance, use Migrating from Server or Data Center to the Cloud as the main migration reference. For a comparison of product behaviour across deployment types, see Differences between DC and Cloud versions.
