Support FAQ

What is the relation to the Bamboo AWS Plugin?

Tasks for AWS 2.0 is the commercially supported successor of the deprecated Bamboo AWS Plugin 1.x (which will remain available in maintenance mode only, see below) - this transition enables us to sustain our established support level and add new features and improvements more frequently going forward (we have scheduled several new Tasks tasks for the upcoming months, amongst them e.g. support for Amazon S3 is already available as of Tasks for AWS 2.1).

Will the Bamboo AWS Plugin remain available?

Of courseWhile deprecated, the Bamboo AWS Plugin is an Open-source software (OSS) offering and will remain available as such. However, however, we are switching it to maintenance mode, which means we are going to fix critical issues, but are likely not going to add significant features and improvements and focus on Tasks for AWS instead - please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions about this transition.

How can I migrate from the Bamboo AWS Plugin to Tasks for AWS?

Given the most common use cases for both add-ons are deployment scenarios, we've added support for the new Bamboo 5 Deployment Projects in Tasks for AWS. In order to use this, tasks would need to be recreated in a Deployment Project anyway, so we've decided to prioritize improving the add-on rather than providing a migration option right away. However, so you can use You can start using both add-ons side by side and mix and match tasks from each within a job as long as both remain compatible with the Bamboo version in use (we've added support for regular Bamboo 5.x build projects to the Bamboo AWS Plugin for this reason, but will likely not update it indefinitely for future Bamboo versions).

...

. Both sets of AWS related tasks can be differentiated as follows:

• Tasks for AWS supports the new Bamboo 5 Deployment Projects, so you'll only find one set of AWS related tasks in a deployment project
• Tasks for AWS features updated icons with a 3D appearance via shadows
  
• Tasks for AWS has simplified task names (except for the CloudFormation task):

  AWS Service	Tasks for AWS	Bamboo AWS Plugin
  AWS CloudFormation	AWS CloudFormation Stack	AWS CloudFormation Stack
  Amazon EC2	Amazon EC2 Image	Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Image
  Amazon EC2	Amazon EC2 Instance	Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Instance
  Amazon EBS	Amazon EBS Snapshot	Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Snapshot
  Amazon S3	Amazon S3 Object	N/A

   

   

Licensing & Purchasing

Do my Bamboo and Tasks for AWS licenses have to match?

...

Which license do I choose when purchasing an add-on?:

The Atlassian host application (for example, JIRA, Confluence, etc.) license tier determines the license type you need for an add-on that is paid-via-Atlassian.  For example, if you are installing an add-on into a JIRA with 25-user license, you must purchase a 25-user license for the add-on, even if fewer users will actually use it.

IMPORTANT: If you do not purchase a license that matches your Atlassian application license, your add-on will not work.
