I am DevOps, and not Ops. So I try to not waste time with self hosting as much as possible.

  DevOps really is not just doing DevOps on cloud platforms and SaaS. Besides, the sysadmin aspects of self hosting should be handled by, well, sysadmin. DevOps should be handling other aspects like developing solutuons necessary to have things (in this case Jira) work together with other systems. (Among other responsibilities) Though DevOps can implemented in different ways with responsibilities that are different from one organization to another, but I've never heard it defined as "we don't deal with on prem" But I also get the impression that you may just be expressing a preference, not a rule of DevOps? If so then I definitely understand. Custom solutions to integrate or glue disparate systems together is often not the most interesting work. My area... A single word doesn't encompass what I do, I'm a generalist in my domain with one or two specialties, but glueing data together (not the same as a full integration, I know) is a big part of my job, and usually the least interesting. Though in this case from other comments on prem seems a a dwindling option anyway for Jira. I worked with it about 7 years ago under one of their free licensing programs and disliked it enough that I didn't bother following them after that.

    Yes, I should have written a bit more. It is definitely a preference. Currently, in my team Devops is a one man show (me). So I have to be careful with how much burden I allow. There are things that make sense to self host, I agree. I am just trying to avoid becoming classical IT and having to provide lots of end user support and such.
