Aaron’s 2015 Predictions - From 2014 show 

  • Container ecosystem is beginning to mature
 
  • Docker needs to go through Trough of Disillusionment
 
  • Skill Sets Changing - Blogging will become a lost art
 
  • GitHub or “GetOut” - people need to learn GitHub - see 30 Days of Commitmas (GitHub learning)
 
  • Existence of Bi-Modal IT - There is no migration path between the two.
 
  • “Infrastructure as a Code” replaces “Software-Defined” terminology
 Infrastructure jobs will become the operations portion of DevOps (automate everything)
