How would you best describe your organization's current level of maturity with respect to infrastructure as code (IaC)?
(Required)
Initial (basic or trial implementations; or just starting with IaC)
Developing (IaC implementations in place)
Intermediate (significant use of IaC)
Advanced (adoption, or planned adoption, of IaC for most or all environments)
Full (IaC a core part of development, deployment, and operations)
Don’t know
How do you typically audit or discover existing infrastructure?
(Required)
Use of existing IaC state files
Automated scanning tools
Combination of manual review and automated tools
Manual review of consoles
No consistent auditing or discovery method
Other
What are the biggest challenges you face in ensuring compliance and governance for your IaC-based deployments? (Select up to three)
(Required)
Inconsistent application of policies across environments
Lack of visibility into the infrastructure
Difficulty keeping up with compliance standards
Lack of policy enforcement automation
Insufficient training or expertise
Lack of standardized policies

(Required)
Unclear or missing resource-policy mapping
Lack of infrastructure-as-code expertise
Configuration mapping is too complex
Too many manual error corrections needed
Inconsistencies from environment to environment
Ensuring security or compliance during migration
Translating infrastructure-as-code from environment to environment
Need for manual resource discovery
Need for extensive scripting
Don’t know
Projects require too much time and cost
Which of the following would most help streamline your cloud-to-cloud migrations? (Select up to three)
(Required)
Automated generation of infrastructure as code
Consistent governance and compliance standards
Standardization of infrastructure-as-code deployments
Clear architectural visualizations
Elimination of repetitive manual tasks
Support for manually created resources
Translation of existing infrastructure as code to destination environments
Don’t know
Translation of policies and security protocols
Automated resource-policy mapping
Which of the following best describes how cloud-to-cloud migrations impact your team’s productivity?
(Required)
They create process bottlenecks we must work around, at least temporarily
They have no effect on our productivity or automation
Don’t know
They reduce our productivity significantly while we perform them
We haven’t done any cloud-to-cloud migrations
They increase the amount of automation we need
