Questions

Survey

Who is filling in:

• Developer
• Data scientist
• Operations engineer
• Business or project management
• Other (specify)

Option for multiple but with the request to choose the most fitting answer (and with whose eyes they are looking/answeering the questions) OR option for 1 and make a roadmap through the questions.

For developers, data scientists, business (and pm), other:

• Have you encountered the problem (versioning, configuring things and lose of time or problems)
• Have you ever felt the need to have a tool for your infrastructure which you didn't have
• Familiarity with CM tools, juju, terraform...
• Would you use a modelling tool such as described
• Do you think it would reduce work load
• Do you think it would help on other areas (such as business, PM, documentation)
• Do you think these tools (virtual administrators) can replace real life operation engineers
• Do you outsource/think outsorcing is better then using these tools
• Is this the next step in CM/IaC

For operations engineers:

• Familiarity with juju, CM, why you use, why you don't use it
• Do you think these tools offer enough flexibility as if you would use and configure everything manually
• Do you feel the need for (gui like) modelling techniques on top of the existing frameworks
