What is software maintenance? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

Software maintenance, included in your first year of use, gives you the following benefits:

  • Security patches
  • Critical bug fixes
  • New features & enhancements
  • Access to Atlassian's world-class Support team for technical troubleshooting
  • Developer license* keys (lets you test the upgrades before committing!)
  • Potential to enroll in Beta Programs

In order for your software maintenance to remain active year-round, you must purchase it annually. Learn more about our renewing terms for software maintenance above. We also suggest making sure your business processes allow for frequent upgrades so your team can continue reaping the benefits enjoyed by other world-class teams.

How do I request a quote? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

  • Unlimited projects and users
  • Software maintenance for 12 months — including all updates and online support

What are agents? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

A Bamboo agent is a service that provides capabilities to run job builds. Bamboo includes the following types of agents:

  1. Remote agents, which run in their own separate processes (that is, have their own JVM).
  2. Elastic agents, which run in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
  3. Ephemeral agents, which are short-lived remote agents that start on demand inside a Kubernetes cluster t ocarry out a single build or deployment before being shut down.

Each agent has a defined set of capabilities. An agent's capabilities enable it to run build and deployment jobs with matching requirements.

Agents communicate with Bamboo using the Java Message Service (JMS).

What does it cost to upgrade my Bamboo Server license to a higher tier? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

Effective February 15, 2022 PT, you cannot upgrade or downgrade your tier for your Bamboo Server license(s). You will need to migrate to Data Center or Cloud to change your tier. Learn more about our cloud CI/CD capabilities in Bitbucket.

What is the difference between online/offline/disabled agents? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

A Bamboo Agent is a service that provides capabilities to run job builds.

  1. offline agents are disconnected from Bamboo and do not affect billing or licensing.
  2. online agents are connected to Bamboo and consume a license.
  3. disabled is a status set on the agent by an administrator which means they cannot be utilized by builds, however, if they are connected to the server — they are still considered online and will consume a license.
What does end of support mean? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

On February 15, 2024 PT, your server products will reach end of support. After this date, support and bug fixes will no longer be available for your server products and apps, and any renewals will be prorated to match this date. To stay secure and benefit from continued innovation, we strongly recommend migrating to Cloud or Data Center before the end of support date.
