Why Atlassian Government Cloud is the Future for Public Sector Teams

Government agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their IT infrastructure while maintaining stringent security and compliance standards. With the rapid acceleration of cloud adoption across the public sector, agencies need solutions that are secure, scalable, and purpose-built for government operations. Enter Atlassian Government Cloud—a FedRAMP Moderate-authorized platform designed to help agencies move work forward faster, collaborate efficiently, and maintain the highest levels of security and compliance.

The Shift to Cloud: Why Now?

The U.S. government is prioritizing cloud-first and cloud-smart strategies to enhance efficiency and agility. As agencies transition away from legacy on-premises systems, they require solutions that:

• Ensure security and compliance while handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
• Reduce IT overhead and eliminate infrastructure maintenance burdens
• Foster cross-agency collaboration with modern, cloud-based tools
• Scale effortlessly to accommodate growing mission demands

With Atlassian Government Cloud, agencies no longer have to choose between security and innovation—they can have both.

What is Atlassian Government Cloud?

Atlassian Government Cloud is a dedicated cloud environment designed for public sector organizations. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) us-east-1, with redundancy in us-west-2, it ensures high availability, security, and compliance with federal standards. Unlike Atlassian’s commercial cloud, the Government Cloud environment is entirely separate, with:

• Strict data controls to prevent unauthorized data access or transfer
• A separate login environment for government users
• Network firewalls to restrict inbound and outbound data flow

This purpose-built architecture allows agencies to modernize their workflows, improve collaboration, and confidently migrate to the cloud while staying FedRAMP-compliant.

Key Benefits for Government Agencies

• Enhanced Collaboration – Enables real-time teamwork across agencies and remote teams
• Scalability & Cost Savings – Eliminates the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure
