Why this sizing

Jira Data Center at the large tier maps to the large reference architecture on AWS in us-east-1. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 100% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. This tier is primarily a compute sizing exercise rather than a storage-heavy one.
