Hey all! It's that time of year again... Survey time. The 2025 State of Network Automation Survey is open!!! No automation experience required - please share with everyone who has edit access on a production network, regardless of how automated that network might be. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/StateOfNetworkAutomation_2025 For consistency, and ability to track trends, most of the questions are word-for-word repeats from prior years surveys. This year I deleted a few questions that don't seem relevant anymore, and I made a few questions optional, rather than required, in hopes of MANY more responses -- I also built in some logic, so that *folks who have ZERO network automation experience / deployment can still answer the survey easily*, in hopes of more accurate data collection. There are also some new questions, all suggested by the Network Automation Forum community. Finally, you will notice that we (now with NAF backing) moved off of the free Google form to a much sleeker SurveyMonkey survey. w00t Again - we invite anyone and everyone with enable on a production network to complete the survey, and we hope that everyone here will share the survey in other foraa as well - mailing lists, newsletters, social media, discord, slack, reddit, etc, etc. Survey results have been submitted as a talk for NANOG 95 in October. And will be available publically one way or another before the end of the year. Thanks! ~Chris
