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)
Combination of manual review and automated tools
Manual review of consoles
Automated scanning tools
Use of existing IaC state files
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)
Difficulty keeping up with compliance standards
Amount of time required for audits
Lack of standardized policies
Difficulty enforcing policies
Insufficient training or expertise
Lack of policy enforcement automation
Lack of visibility into the infrastructure
Inconsistent application of policies across environments

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