Survey</a><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> [1]!
In an effort to create less work for our community, in 2018 we moved to
an annual, rather than a bi-annual report. If you run an OpenStack
deployment, now is the time to share details about how you run the
software and your thoughts on ways that the community can improve the
software. Your feedback matters and it's shared directly with the PTLs
and community leaders that work to build OpenStack!</span><br

had some good community feedback on the last survey and ended up with
only minor updates from 2018. Below you can see a list of changes that
we've incorporated:</span><br style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><ul
style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><li>"Which new/emerging
technologies are you
interested in using or seeing integrated with OpenStack?" </li><ul><li>Added
options for "AI/ML" and "5G"<br>
</li></ul><li>Deleted the question "Are you interested in helping our
interoperability efforts by using RefStack to test your cloud
capabilities?"</li><li>"Which tools are you using to deploy /
manage this cluster?"</li><ul><li>Added the word
"manage" to the question as tools can be used for both</li><li>Add
"TripleO" and "Container-based orchestration" as options</li><li>Created
a new "Please specify" if "Other tools" is chosen</li></ul><li>"Which
container orchestration or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) tools are you
using to manage applications on this OpenStack deployment?"</li><ul><li>Added
"container orchestration or " to question</li></ul><li>"Which OpenStack
Network (Neutron) drivers are you using?"</li><ul><li>Add Calico as an
answer</li></ul><li>"Which
compatibility APIs does this deployment support?"</li><ul><li>Added the
option "This deployment doesn't use compatibility APIs"</li></ul><li>Please
note: This year, we will not be including the hardware and software
vendor questions in the report or analytics dashboard due to the
potential for the data to be misinterpreted.</li></ul><b
