The life of the modern Atlassian Admin
by Rebekka Heilmann (viadee)

A reading of Rebekka's thoughts on the challenges of Atlassian Admins (Cloud changes, AI, more Tools, In-house consulting activities and more)

This is basically a Blog post that is written in an entertaining matter and that I’ll read out loud as an input for the group?

This is an ongoing topic that a large part of the community is addressing as the job of an Admin is getting more and more complicated.

Jira and Bitbucket Deserve Enterprise-Class Data Protection — Here Are Best Practices
by Khrystyna Shparyk and Błażej Nowikowski, GitProtext.io by Xopero ONE

If your organization relies on Jira and Bitbucket, simply assuming that data is safe is risky. Enterprise-class data protection means going beyond basic or built-in features: you need comprehensive backup coverage, strong security, flexible retention, efficient storage, and reliable restore capabilities. Adopting a full suite of best practices like those GitProtect describes helps ensure business continuity, compliance, and peace of mind.
