Atlassian, the company behind jira is also an Australian company, not an American one.

Their HQ seems to be in San Francisco though and they have a US stock symbol. So I guess they pay the majority of taxes in the US, no?

And yet their infrastructure is hosted on AWS

[โ€“] Blaze@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Has any major tech company moved their infrastructure from AWS? Those things take time.

Unless you use a very limited set of features, you can't really migrate to anything else than another of the big American clouds. And maybe some Chinese ones, though I've never seen what they offer.

what do you mean? you can host a server in your garage

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, you very obviously don't know what do these cloud services sell, so why even participate in a discussion you're not qualified to be in at all?

No, you cannot migrate your AWS stack to your garage server.

I'm sorry for wasting your time by asking a question while underqualified.

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, you're not wasting my time, I decided to waste it myself. I just don't understand how "you can host a server in your garage" is even a seriously meant answer to replacing AWS.

Like, at my day job I'm responsible for managing an AWS stack that costs the company upwards of $20,000 per month. And we're far from the largest users. You can't store that in a garage.

I just donโ€™t understand how โ€œyou can host a server in your garageโ€ is even a seriously meant answer to replacing AWS.

Any at scale company could easily run their own servers in their own garages, but they choose to put them in The Cloudโ„ข because it looked cheaper in some management presentation (why bother asking operations, what do they know).

Feel free to post it as well!

This seems to be an alternative to Jira Service Management, not Jira Software. Thereโ€™s a very important distinction between the two.
