Hey all, 

Here is a cleaned up draft of the user survey from our last meeting. Any feedback on it would be appreciated. 


Just as a refresher, this survey is step 1 towards building knowledge of who our users are, what they are trying to achieve by using Kubernetes, as well as some experience metric baselining. We ask for permission to follow up at the end of the survey so as to do more of a deep dive into what they are trying to accomplish. 

Thanks!

Gaby

Hi Gaby,

Thanks for moving the survey forward! I'm looking forward to responses, especially the freeform Jobs Questions (I assume these three "explain" questions are standard for JTBD?).

For the screening questions, I'd consider the following, based on what I've learned about the main differences among infra admins:


Org type:
  • Managed service provider
  • Consultant
  • In-house IT
Role:
  • People Manager
  • Admin (individual contributor)
  • Architect
  • Student
  • Teacher
Company size -> Environment size
  • Consider replacing with question about environment size, defined by number of Kubernetes nodes (hosts). Many admins don't know their company size and/or they only work for a subset of the company.

Environment locations:
  • On-prem
  • Managed hosting
  • Public cloud
  • Edge

Tech involvement:
  • Add: automate, manage, and govern cloud platform?
  • Combine: dev software + debug software
  • Combine: setup monitoring & logging
  • Add: application performance monitoring and troubleshooting?
  • Scaling -> scaling, capacity, and cost management?
  • Add: networking and/or security?
  • Add: storage and/or backup?
  • Add: OS and/or identity systems?
  • Add: databases/data/AI/ML systems?

Non-Kubernetes container question - edit or remove?
  • As it's worded, this seems like a superset of the Kubernetes question, because if you use Kubernetes, then you also use containers. If the idea is to track standalone containers vs orchestrated containers, then consider asking about Docker
  • If the idea is to track adoption of Kubernetes vs alternatives, consider questions about OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, Terraform, Ansible. Would be interesting to see if Kubernetes platform operators also use these other automation tools, to inform integrations.

Geo:
  • Add: Middle East

Hey all, thanks for the great feedback. I'm just coming back from holidays so I'll be working on incorporating and share out.

Gaby I only have view access - is it your intent to give comment access so we can give input? Just checking in.
