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)
 
Brian’s 2015 Predictions - From 2014 show
- Containers, Containers, Containers - competition for Docker in containers (VMware, CoreOS, etc.)? Moved from Containers to Systems.
 - Containers/Docker were mentioned everywhere (AWS, Tutum, Microsoft, DigitalOcean)
 - VMware pushes that “containers need VMs”
 - AWS is finally starting to understand the Enterprise; bundling/integrating services
 - Nobody values Cloud Management software
 - How do the VCs justify all this investment in companies that drive open-source projects?
 - What happens to all the SaaS tools platforms on AWS, can they survive economically?

Aaron’s 2016 Prediction Notes:
Industry Predictions:
