• A wide breadth of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services

WHAT MIGHT BECOME A FEATURE OF MODERN SYSTEMS?

• DevOps becomes integrated Co-Pilots via LLMs
• FinOps gets built into the systems, like vMotion from VMware
• Pre-Testing, Pre-Planning gets built in (like System Initiative)
• Chaos engineering gets built-in
• Collaboration gets built-in
• The OS becomes like containers and gets deterministic
• Upgrades are built-in
• Training, Docs, Examples are built-in

LESSONS LEARNED

• The cross the chasm adoption isn’t just for a specific technology, it’s for bigger systems too
• Rarely does the new thing completely replace the old thing (mobile excluded)
• Innovation will need to continue to be creative (e.g. open source, pricing, etc.)
• “Failures” are usually just incremental steps
