Migration path from On-Premises to the Cloud for Azure DevOps Confluence Connector
This article provides all the information to migrate Azure DevOps macros from the Server/Data Center app to the Cloud.
Prerequisites
Confluence Server instance with Azure DevOps Connector for Confluence (Server/Data Center) installed;
Confluence Cloud instance with Azure DevOps Connector for Confluence (Cloud) installed.
In both instances:
Confluence admin permissions;
Space admin permissions if you have space-level configurations.
Migration Steps
Step 1. Migrate Confluence content from Server/Data Center to Cloud
To start on this journey, it is recommended to rely on Atlassian's Cloud migration methods for Confluence to ensure a successful migration. If you use Atlassian Migration Assistant, go to Confluence administration on Confluence Server/Data Center under the Atlassian Cloud section.
After data migration, all Azure DevOps links will be present on the corresponding Confluence pages.
Step 2. Connect your Azure DevOps instance to your Confluence Cloud
For security reasons, we do not provide the migration of configurations created on the Confluence Server/Data Center. Therefore, you must set up the integration from scratch in Confluence Cloud.
To convert Azure DevOps links into macros, you must connect your Azure DevOps instance to your Confluence Cloud by creating integrations at the space or global level, or in your personal settings.
You can find a comparison of features between Cloud and Data Center versions here: Azure DevOps Connector for Confluence: Cloud & Server Differences
Step 3. Check your Azure DevOps macros on Confluence pages
Go to the Confluence pages, which include links to Azure DevOps entities. If created integrations provide access to necessary Azure DevOps organisations and projects, those links will automatically be converted into Azure DevOps macros.
Important to know:
The configuration parameters for each macro in the Cloud may differ. Adjust the macro using the macro settings to suit your specific needs.
