Why the AGC matters

Many government agencies can only use commercial cloud offerings that comply with specific regulatory requirements. The Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC) provides a compliant, secure environment that enables these customers to modernize and collaborate in the cloud.

To use the AGC, a customer or entity must be a United States government agency or contractor/vendor working with the United States government. In addition, we enforce a minimum user count for each of the following products on the AGC:

  • Jira: 201 users
  • Confluence: 201 users
  • Jira Service Management: 26 users

For more information, see How does the Atlassian Government Cloud environment work.

Critical workflow support

Marketplace apps are essential to the investments of many AGC customers in the Atlassian cloud. Often, apps are critical to the migration strategies of these customers to the AGC.

To support customers on their path to enabling AGC, we strongly encourage Marketplace Partners to make their apps AGC-compatible. This will support customers on their journey to migrate and configure those apps in the AGC environment.

The success of AGC depends on critical apps utilized by customers being made available, and a smooth journey to ensure that customers can evaluate and authorize apps based on their own risk criteria.

Enabling partner growth

Marketplace partners can reach new government customers and grow revenue by enabling their apps for AGC. The Atlassian Marketplace team is working on future-facing capabilities that will enable partners to to set custom pricing for AGC compatible apps to increase revenue when selling apps to this segment of customers.
