survey

Hi,
Can someone explain the process by which the survey sent in June [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cncf-survey-june-2018] is composed?
Thanks,
Erin

CNCF staff put it together. We try not to change it too much from survey to survey to make the results comparable, although there is a fundamental lack of statistical meaningfulness to the whole exercise.

If you'd like to see changes in the next version, please let me know.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I am a little concerned by OpenShift being completely omitted from the survey all together.
I would of course like to see it in the next survey (not sure when that is) but would like to understand why
it wasn't considered a valid option.
Thanks,
Erin

The issue is that the question was treating OpenShift and Kubernetes separately, when we see OpenShift as a distribution of Kubernetes.

Agreed.  If we included OpenShift I think we’d also need to include the other 59 certified Kubernetes distros and platforms, which seems infeasible/undesirable.

Hi Dan,
I know the CNCF only has the best intentions in mind and the survey is meant to better understand our community. However, there are some inconsistencies that should be addressed if we are wanting to separate product from project.
As an example, chart 3 has several things I would consider products (Oracle, Alibaba), unless OpenShift Online is less than 1% I would see it as being appropriate to list here.
Also, in terms of storage, unless the cloud native == CNCF, I would expect to see Container Native Storage/GlusterFS (also project not product in the list) in addition to Mino, Rook, etc...
 
If I may, I think it might be a worthwhile exercise to review the survey as part of the TOC to propose a method by which the statistical representation is more meaningful, as you pointed out. In addition, clearly defining what we see in terms of a product vs. project as part of the CNCFs general definitions should be part of this exercise.
I am sure you can agree, we want to see all projects/products equally represented regardless of the vendor. At this point, given Quinton's sentiment on the shear number or offerings of Kubernetes, it might be in the CNCF's best interest to be more vague in an effort to not unintentionally leave out a product.

Maybe something more along the lines of:

In your Kubernetes environment, do you use:
- Just upstream OSS k8s (DIY)
- Vendor provided k8s platform
- Public cloud k8s service

Where do you run k8s?
- Private Cloud / Data Center
- On public cloud resources
- Using managed k8s service

Thanks,
Erin

I agree that we could be clearer in some of the project/product distinctions. Next time, we'll add some additional reviewers to look at that issue.

Dan,

When we performed the k8s apps survey we listed the tools we were aware of at the time (incomplete but a list) and did a cut line based on some measure of popularity (often github stars for projects there). It’s imperfect but provided a reason for the ones listed. We then included space for people to list other tools. Would it make sense for the CNCF to follow a similar method? Though, I’m unsure of the best way to handle commercial products but a reasoned common cut line would provide a reason, in general, we could debate.

- Matt
