With the Cloud Migration Tool and Configuration Manager for Jira Cloud apps, you can connect your Jira Server or Data Center instances to Jira Cloud sites. In addition, you can create a cloud connection from the Move to Jira Cloud home page and also during migrations.
After installing the Cloud Migration Tool and landing on its home page, you can easily create your first connection to a Jira Cloud site. That’s a quick way to make a cloud connection without leaving the Move to Jira Cloud home page.
