Xray for Jira Server/Data Center has been available in the Atlassian Marketplace since 2014.

Xray for Jira Cloud is an offshoot of the highly successful Xray for Jira Server. While there are many similarities between the two, there are some subtle differences due to the unique nature of Jira Cloud.

These are, in fact, two distinct products with separate roadmaps and release cycles. However, our goal is to make Xray for Jira Cloud as similar to Xray for Jira Server/Data Center as possible, while improving it where we can.

Migrating from Xray Server/DC and Xray Cloud

If you are looking to migrate your Jira Server/DC instance to Jira Cloud, please take a look at our Jira Cloud Migration Guide.
