Atlassian has announced a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud, marking a major step in its multi-cloud journey. While Atlassian has long partnered with AWS to run its core cloud infrastructure, the addition of Google Cloud brings new strengths in AI, scalability, and customer choice.
Why this matters for customers:
- Dual-cloud resilience – With AWS and Google Cloud both powering Atlassian’s platform, products like Jira, Confluence, and Loom benefit from greater uptime, redundancy, and performance options.
- AI at the core – Google Cloud’s AI-optimized infrastructure, including Vertex AI and Gemini, will supercharge Atlassian’s next wave of intelligent features, from smarter Rovo agents to automated content insights in Confluence.
- Flexibility and compliance – The partnership enables customers to better meet data residency, compliance, and performance requirements by choosing the cloud environment that fits them best.
- Global scale, faster innovation – Leveraging the strengths of two cloud leaders allows Atlassian to scale worldwide while delivering new capabilities more quickly and securely.
This move positions Atlassian to combine AWS’s proven global infrastructure with Google Cloud’s AI leadership - a combination that promises faster innovation, stronger reliability, and more choice for enterprise teams.
🔐 Say hi 👋🏼 to Atlassian Service Accounts
Atlassian has just rolled out Service Accounts for Cloud - a long-awaited solution for a compliance problem that admins have quietly dealt with for years. This new feature allows teams to create dedicated, non-human identities for automation, scripting, and integrations, eliminating the need for risky shared credentials.
For years, many organizations relied on “bot” accounts or shared tokens, which violated Atlassian’s terms and created governance blind spots. Service Accounts close that gap with a compliant, secure alternative.
Why this matters:
- 🔐 Compliance-first – Fully aligned with Atlassian’s license terms, no more shared logins.
- 📧 Unique identity – Distinct @serviceaccount.atlassian.com email addresses for easy recognition.
- ⚙️ Secure automation – API tokens generated in the UI, scoped for only the products needed.
- 🧾 Audit-ready – Clear separation of bot activity from human users in logs.
- 🔄 Data Center familiarity – Brings Cloud in line with service account best practices already used in on-prem setups.
🚀 Atlassian Unveils Rovo Dev CLI Powered by GPT-5, Accelerating AI Agent Development
Atlassian has introduced the Rovo Dev CLI with GPT-5, a powerful new developer tool that combines Atlassian’s AI capabilities with the latest generation of OpenAI’s GPT technology. Designed to supercharge the way teams build and extend Rovo agents, this new CLI offers an integrated, code-friendly environment for creating, testing, and deploying AI-powered workflows.
Why this matters for customers:
- Faster AI development – Developers can now create custom Rovo agents in minutes, not days, with GPT-5 providing intelligent code generation, context-aware suggestions, and instant documentation.
- Built-in Atlassian integration – The CLI connects directly to Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian tools, enabling AI agents to work seamlessly within existing workflows.
- Local and cloud flexibility – Developers can run and test agents locally before deploying them to the cloud, ensuring faster iteration cycles and fewer surprises in production.
- Enterprise-ready AI – With GPT-5’s improved reasoning, reduced hallucinations, and stronger security guardrails, organizations can safely deploy AI agents that handle sensitive business processes.
This launch marks a major milestone in Atlassian’s AI strategy, giving teams the tools to move from AI consumers to AI creators. By combining the power of GPT-5 with direct Rovo integration, Atlassian is enabling a new era of tailored, intelligent automation that fits the exact needs of every team.
That’s a wrap for this week’s TEEM360 – a mix of big strategic moves, long-awaited features, and powerful new tools shaping the Atlassian ecosystem. 🚀
