**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

**Aaron’s 2016 Prediction Notes: ** Industry Predictions:
Docker Trough of Disillusionment will happen (push from last year) in favor of Open Standards
We will consolidate down to a handful of large hardware and software vendors in one (Oracle, Cisco, Dell) and pr
