This Quick Start is for users who want to deploy Atlassian Standard Infrastructure (ASI) in a supported configuration on the AWS Cloud, following AWS best practices. The Quick Starts for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Crowd all require the ASI.

The Atlassian Standard Infrastructure is a highly available, secure virtual private cloud (VPC) specifically customized to host Atlassian Data Center products. The ASI contains all the components required for the deployment and integration of multiple Atlassian Data Center products within the same VPC. The Quick Starts for all Atlassian Data Center products (namely, Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Crowd) all require the ASI.

You can deploy the ASI as a stand-alone stack, or as a nested stack of an Atlassian Data Center product. Multiple Atlassian Data Center deployments can use the same ASI.

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services and any third-party licenses used while running this Quick Start. There is no additional cost for using the Quick Start.

The AWS CloudFormation templates for Quick Starts include configuration parameters that you can customize. Some of the settings, such as the instance type, affect the cost of deployment. For cost estimates, see the pricing pages for each AWS service you use. Prices are subject to change.

This Quick Start deploys a cluster-ready infrastructure for the Atlassian Standard Infrastructure, which provides the foundational AWS VPC requirements of Atlassian Data Center products. These products require a license. Refer to Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Crowd pricing information for more details.

Deploying this Quick Start for a new Atlassian Standard Infrastructure (ASI) with default parameters builds the following ASI environment in the AWS Cloud.

As shown in figure 1, the Quick Start sets up the following:

After the Quick Start sets up this foundational stack, it exports the stack’s output values to expose these components to other stacks. The Quick Starts for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Crowd use the exported values to discover these underlying components, so you can easily provision Atlassian products on this infrastructure. For example, Figure 2 shows the Quick Start architecture for Jira, which is built on the ASI.

You can deploy {partner-product-short-name} in a customized AWS Control Tower environment to help you set up a secure, multi-account AWS environment using AWS best practices. For details, see Customizations for AWS Control Tower.

The root directory of the {partner-product-short-name} Quick Start repo includes a ct folder with a manifest.yaml file to assist you with the AWS Control Tower deployment. This file has been customized for the Atlassian Standard Infrastructure Quick Start.

In the following sections, you will review and update the settings in this file and then upload it to the S3 bucket that is used for the deployment.

Q. I encountered a CREATE_FAILED error when I launched the Quick Start.

A. If AWS CloudFormation fails to create the stack, relaunch the template with Rollback on failure set to Disabled. (This setting is under Advanced in the AWS CloudFormation console on the Options page.) With this setting, the stack’s state is retained and the instance is left running, so you can troubleshoot the issue. (Review the log files in /var/log/atl.log and /var/log/cfn-init.log.)

For additional information, see Troubleshooting AWS CloudFormation on the AWS website.

Q. I encountered a size limitation error when I deployed the AWS CloudFormation templates.

A. Launch the Quick Start templates from the links in this guide or from another S3 bucket. If you deploy the templates from a local copy on your computer or from a location other than an S3 bucket, you might encounter template size limitations. For more information about AWS CloudFormation quotas, see the AWS documentation.

After you successfully deploy this Quick Start, confirm that your resources and services are updated and configured — including any required patches — to meet your security and other needs. For more information, see the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
