Atlassian is rearchitecting Jira Cloud to enhance its performance and reliability. By transitioning to a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform, the team aims to improve scalability and address the limitations of the previous architecture. Key changes include optimizing data access patterns and decoupling services for better efficiency.

Amazon EKS now offers a Provisioned Control Plane that allows users to pre-allocate control plane capacity for predictable and high performance during demanding workloads. This feature provides multiple scaling tiers to ensure responsiveness during peak traffic without needing to scale dynamically. Users can monitor and adjust their control plane tier as workload requirements change.
