# Infrastructure Automation

# *Self Assessment Tool*

Learn where you fall on the Infrastructure Automation Leadership Index, and guidance on best practices to increase your infrastructure automation maturity.

## Infrastructure Automation Leadership Index

As part of our research, we’ve developed the Infrastructure Automation Leadership Index to capture organizational maturity from basic automation practices to advanced, scalable and secure automated infrastructure management. We applied the index to the respondents to categorize them by their progress into one of four stages: Experimenter, Adopter, Optimizer and Leader.

Take our free self-assessment to determine where your organization ranks on the Infrastructure Automation Leadership Index. You’ll also receive tailored advice, best practices, and real-life examples of progression based on your results.

### Optimizer

Deployments are streamlined and improved governance, but gaps persist in security, compliance and scalability.
