Data Residency
Data Residency refers to the geographic location where your data is stored. In the context of Jira, it ensures that your data resides in specific regions to comply with regulatory, security, or organizational requirements.
Data Residency in Flower
Flower keeps its process data in Jira: models, process instances, tasks, and the state of the engine are Jira work items and work item properties. This data follows the data residency of your Jira site, and moves with it when you change the region.
What is stored outside of work items depends on the Flower app:
| Flower app | Settings and Jira work type mapping | Data residency |
|---|---|---|
| Forge (Jira Cloud) | Forge storage of the app (KVS) on Atlassian’s infrastructure | The app runs on Atlassian (Runs on Atlassian), its storage is managed by Atlassian |
| Connect (Jira Cloud) | The database of the Flower server | The Flower server of the region of your site, see the list below |
| Data Center | Jira’s plugin settings in your Jira database | Your own infrastructure |
