Jira Align self-hosted

Solution

• Reference diagram:

  

• Web Application: To distribute the load across multiple web application servers, only deploy the web application on the front-end nodes using the deploy-only-customer_name.bat. These web application nodes can be load-balanced using session persistence. This prevents user logouts by maintaining the same session with a server without switching the traffic between the nodes.

• Connector: The connector service and the Jira services need to maintain a 1:1 relationship. If you need to separate connector services on a standalone node, only install the connector service using the install.bat process.

• Back-Office: If the back-office service needs to be deployed on a stand-alone node, install it only using the command-line service installation procedure. To prevent duplicate notifications, there needs to be only one active Back-office server per Jira Align instance.
