CNCF Maintainers Survey 2025 H2

CNCF Maintainers Survey 2025 H2

Greetings,

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is regularly surveying the project maintainers to check levels of satisfaction and how the foundation can help more.

This is the regular CNCF Maintainers Survey, H2 2025 edition, and should take no more than a few minutes of your time.

We will open source the survey results later removing all PII (identifying) information: https://github.com/cncf/surveys
