LeftSize for Jira
Cloud findings in the Jira your team already plans in
LeftSize keeps an eye on your AWS, Azure and Cloudflare accounts: waste, retirements, security risks and resources nobody owns. With the Jira app, every finding lands in the Jira project you choose, with the impact, the fix and the savings, instead of in GitHub Issues.
For Jira Cloud, included in every LeftSize plan at no extra cost. A site admin installs it. The scan still runs in your GitHub Actions, so you need LeftSize on GitHub too.
Works the way Jira works
LeftSize never changes your cloud. It tells you what needs attention, why, and how to fix it, and keeps the issue up to date until you do.
One issue per finding
Each rule and scope gets one Jira issue with the affected resources, the estimated savings and how to fix it. Every scan updates it, so you never get duplicates.
A panel on every LeftSize issue
Status, savings and buttons to snooze, ignore or mark as not a problem. Explain, How to fix, Script, Impact and Alternatives open the answer in a dialog.
Commands in comments
Prefer typing? /leftsize explain, /leftsize snooze 3m or /leftsize ignore with a reason work in any comment, and LeftSize replies within seconds.
Done means saved
Move an issue to Done and LeftSize records the resources as fixed, with their savings. Won’t Do counts as not planned. Reopen it and LeftSize tracks it again.
Your workflow, your projects
LeftSize closes and reopens issues through your project’s own workflow, and follows an issue when you move it to another project.
Move between GitHub and Jira
Change your mind later? Open issues move to the new destination with a link both ways, and the old issue is closed as not planned.
Set up in three steps
- 1
Set up LeftSize on GitHub
Install the GitHub App and add the workflow. The scan runs read-only in your own GitHub Actions, so nothing about it changes when issues go to Jira.
Install the GitHub App → - 2
Add LeftSize to Jira
A Jira site admin installs the LeftSize app on your Jira Cloud site. Jira shows what the app can access before you confirm.
Add to Jira → - 3
Link the site and pick projects
In Jira, open Settings → Apps → LeftSize and sign in with GitHub. Choose a Jira project for all repositories, or one per repository. Issues that are already open on GitHub can move along.

What the app can access
These are the permissions Jira shows when you install the app, and what LeftSize uses them for.
- View Jira issue data
- List projects for the settings page, and read the status and resolution of LeftSize’s issues.
- Create and manage issues
- Create LeftSize’s issues, keep them up to date, comment, and move them to Done or back.
- View user profiles
- Read the app’s own Jira account when a site is linked, so LeftSize can tell its own changes, such as a snooze, from people’s. It doesn’t look up people.
- Access from outside Atlassian
- Act as the app’s own user, LeftSize, instead of as a person.
- Share data with 1 domain
- api.leftsize.com, where LeftSize runs. It acts only on the issues it created and ignores the rest.
LeftSize stores no names or account IDs of people in your Jira site. It keeps the site’s address, the keys of the issues it created and a short-lived, encrypted access token. Disconnect or uninstall at any time; the issues stay in your Jira. Details in the Jira guide and the privacy policy.
Your cloud’s second pair of eyes, in Jira
Set up LeftSize on GitHub, add the app to Jira, and the next scan opens its findings in your project.
