Clarify firewall requirements for Jira Cloud app
What does this MR do?
This MR clarifies which type of firewall rules (inbound/outbound) need to be applied to which IP ranges. The MR also makes the reverse proxy firewall requirements more streamlined with the general firewall requirements.
At the moment, the Atlassian Marketplace app firewall requirements in the docs are incorrect as Jira Cloud won't actually contact the self-managed instance directly.
[at]anton: [at]lduncalfe can you fact check me there, does that sound correct? Is there a situation where Atlassian Jira would contact the self-managed instance directly if you have installed the Jira Cloud app via the Atlassian Marketplace?
[at]lduncalfe: [at]anton Yes that’s correct, there wouldn’t be a situation where Jira would contact the GitLab instance directly if the instance had installed the GitLab for Jira Cloud app via the Atlassian Marketplace. The contact from Jira is limited to the app lifecycle events, and there’s a redirect for branch creation to the instance. When installed from the Marketplace these are both handled by GitLab.com.

Author's checklist
-
Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course. -
Follow the: -
If you're adding a new page, add the product availability details under the H1 topic title. -
If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"
~"backend"
~"type::bug"
~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. -
Ensure a release milestone is set. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
