We 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:

"Which new/emerging technologies are you interested in using or seeing integrated with OpenStack?"

Added options for "AI/ML" and "5G"

Deleted the question "Are you interested in helping our interoperability efforts by using RefStack to test your cloud capabilities?"
"Which tools are you using to deploy / manage this cluster?"

Added the word "manage" to the question as tools can be used for both
Add "TripleO" and "Container-based orchestration" as options
Created a new "Please specify" if "Other tools" is chosen

"Which container orchestration or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) tools are you using to manage applications on this OpenStack deployment?"

Added "container orchestration or " to question

"Which OpenStack Network (Neutron) drivers are you using?"

Add Calico as an answer

"Which compatibility APIs does this deployment support?"

Added the option "This deployment doesn't use compatibility APIs"

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.

In addition to the question modifications above, we reached out to PTLs to ask for their feedback and guidance on the project specific questions of the survey. We've modified or added those questions as noted below:

Keystone
This will be a question where respondents can rank their choices and will follow their existing question:

Which of the following initiatives would be most beneficial for your deployment? You can rank items by priority with items at the top being most important and items at the bottom being least important.

Improved performance
Better support for synchronizing multiple keystone regions
Read-only RBAC roles
More flexible federated mappings
Improved fine-grained access control
Better support for domain administrators
Improved usability of keystone outside of an OpenStack environment

Glance
Changed existing question to:

"Multi back-ends feature will stay Experimental in Stein release. How badly this affect your deployment plans? Any details how you’re planning to use it would be helpful.”

Ironic

Changed existing question to:

"What would you find most useful if it was part of Ironic?"

Swift
Changed existing question to:

What features of Swift are you currently using (or have plans to use in the next 12 months)? (select all that apply

If you have further questions, concerns, please let us know.
