View cloud readiness insights

Your cloud readiness insights will be available after you’ve connected to a Data Center instance and completed the assessment or uploaded the archive with results. In both cases, the data collection might take up to a few hours.

View cloud readiness insights

To view cloud readiness insights:

1. In Portfolio insights, open the Apps tab, and select your Data Center instance.

2. In the right-hand panel, select View insights. You’ll be moved to the instance details.

3. Open the cloud readiness report:

   • Jira: In the instance view, select the Cloud readiness tab.

   • Confluence: You’ll land directly in your cloud readiness report, as Confluence doesn’t have additional tabs right now.

Details of cloud readiness insights

Your cloud readiness report compares data from your instance with Atlassian guardrails that are relevant for migrations or your future setup in cloud.

Areas to improve

We count every data point where guardrails are exceeded and show your results at the top. Ideally, your goal is to bring this number to zero, but it’s not required. Based on the details, you can decide that the problem doesn’t impact your environment that much and skip it.

Categories and data points

Your insights are divided into main categories, each with a different impact.

Jira	Insight categories
	Migration time: Migration duration, with the goal of 24 hours. Users and groups: Identity limits (user provisioning) or product access limits. Issue limits: Shows whether any of your issues have too many entities, such as comments or issue links, which would freeze such issues in cloud. Cloud health: Shows whether your configuration items might affect performance and user experience.

Confluence	Insight categories
	Migration time: Migration duration, with the goal of 24 hours. Users and groups: Identity limits (user provisioning) or product access limits. Spaces: Shows spaces that have too many content items or complex structure. Pages: Shows pages that have too many content items.

Insights and recommendations

For each data point, you can view details in the right-hand panel. For the ones that are exceeding the guardrail, you’ll additionally see recommendations on how to improve your result.

1. Insight: A data point whose details you’re viewing, together with its summary, limits, and related recommendations.

2. Your data vs. guardrail: Your result and the actual guardrail we compare it against.

3. Recommendation: An action you can take to improve your result. Typically, every insight has multiple recommendations. Where possible, a recommendation allows you to identify affected entities (Jira link, SQL query) and includes links to docs for more information.

Missing data points

The data used for your insights is collected through the migration assistant, that’s why we recommend updating it to the latest version. If your version doesn’t include a data point, we won’t show it in your report at all.

Re-assessing your instance

As you apply recommendations and improve your data, re-assess your instance to see the changes. We won’t do that automatically, we only do it once after connecting your instance.

You can re-assess in a few ways.

Connected instances

• From your cloud readiness report, select Re-assess.

• From the main page of Portfolio insights, select Actions > Re-assess next to your instance.

Manual upload

If your instance isn’t connected to Portfolio insights, you can also manually upload a new file with results. The new results will overwrite the previous ones. How to collect and upload data manually
