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
Manual review of consoles
Automated scanning tools
No consistent auditing or discovery method
Combination of manual review and automated tools
Other

(Required)
Infrastructure configuration drift
Difficulty keeping up with compliance standards
Lack of visibility into the infrastructure

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