The web team has been working in recent weeks on developing a solution on the Charm Store that helps our users easily identify which charms are reliable and safe to use. If you use the charm store as part of your work, it would be very helpful to know your answers to the following questions.

All of the questions are optional.

I am a developer using charms for my personal projects.

I am a DevOps engineer using charms for large cloud deployments.

I use charms and bundles to make custom solutions for my clients.
