Help Shape the Future of Ansible: Participate in the 2024 Project Survey and Stay Engaged with the Ansible Community
As we continue to advance in the world of automation, collaboration, and open-source innovation, we are excited to announce a significant milestone in the Ansible community: the launch of the Ansible Project Survey 2024. This survey is the first of its kind—a project-wide effort to gather insights, feedback, and data directly from the people who matter most: you, the users.
Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or are just starting your Ansible journey, your voice is crucial in shaping the future of Ansible. This comprehensive survey aims to understand how you use Ansible, what features are most valuable, what challenges you face, and how your experiences evolve over time.
Why Your Participation Matters
For years, we’ve done smaller, targeted surveys—like the one in 2020 that focused on documentation—but we’ve never conducted a full-scale survey like this. As the Ansible ecosystem grows, the need to understand how different industries, roles, and skill levels interact with our tools has become more important than ever.
We’re diving into questions such as:
- Which versions of Ansible are you using?
- How do your experiences with Ansible change based on your role or industry?
- What impact do advanced features and tools have on your satisfaction?
- What can we do to improve your Ansible experience?
With your input, we can develop models that help us understand not just the raw data, but the intricate journeys of our users. It’s about more than just numbers—it’s about your story with Ansible.
Take the Survey
The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete, and we’re aiming for the highest quality dataset possible. Your thoughtful feedback will enable us to better understand the needs of the community and create a more user-focused roadmap for Ansible’s future.

Ansible London: Meetup Recap and What’s Next
For those of you who attended—or tried to attend—the Ansible London Meetup on September 23rd, hosted by Dell, the slides from the event are now available online! We want to extend a sincere apology to those who faced difficulties entering the event due to miscommunication at reception. Rest assured, we’ve identified the issue and will ensure it doesn’t happen at future meetups.
Looking ahead, we’re already planning the next Ansible London Meetup and are calling for presentations! Whether you’ve developed an innovative automation solution or just want to share your experience with Ansible, we’d love to hear from you. Even a short talk (5-20 minutes) about what you’ve achieved with Ansible would be a fantastic addition to the event. You can submit your presentation ideas through our GitHub repository.
