Purpose of present annex
The infrastructure required to run Atlassian products and related apps must in all cases comply with Atlassian's technical recommendations. These technical proposals are given as an example in this Annex. Please note that in addition to the sites listed in this Appendix, many other pages may contain additional specifications, so please fully verify that the system on which you intend to run the Atlassian product or related app is compliant with the developer's requirements before installing the system. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that if the infrastructure is not suitable, there is a possibility that the system you want to run, and the app associated with it will not be suitable for achieving the desired goal.
Once again, we would like to emphasize that the Customer is obliged to ensure that the infrastructure required to run the Atlassian system and related applications always complies with Atlassian's technical recommendations (including, but not limited to memory, network, adequate hard drive speed, etc.). in connection with which or due to the deficiencies of which META-INF shall not be liable in case of possible inoperability or malfunction.
The technical recommendations are only valid if choosing Server or Data Center deployment, while for Cloud deployment Atlassian undertakes to ensure the proper operation of the products, information on which is available on the following pages:

Purpose of present annex
The infrastructure required to run Atlassian products and related apps must in all cases comply with Atlassian's technical recommendations. These technical proposals are given as an example in this Annex. Please note that in addition to the sites listed in this Appendix, many other pages may contain additional specifications, so please fully verify that the system on which you intend to run the Atlassian product or related app is compliant with the developer's requirements before installing the system. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that if the infrastructure is not suitable, there is a possibility that the system you want to run, and the app associated with it will not be suitable for achieving the desired goal.
Once again, we would like to emphasize that the Customer is obliged to ensure that the infrastructure required to run the Atlassian system and related applications always complies with Atlassian's technical recommendations (including, but not limited to memory, network, adequate hard drive speed, etc.). in connection with which or due to the deficiencies of which META-INF shall not be liable in case of possible inoperability or malfunction.
The technical recommendations are only valid if choosing Server or Data Center deployment, while for Cloud deployment Atlassian undertakes to ensure the proper operation of the products, information on which is available on the following pages:
