Whenever I hear this question the first thing I think about is the adoption of Agile software development. The Agile Manifesto was published in 2001, and the term DevOps was coined 8 years later in 2009.
I think the rate of DevOps adoption will be faster than the rate of Agile adoption due to the adoption of hyperscale cloud driving interest in DevOps.
Over the next 5 years, we’ll inevitably see a wave of “DevOps sucks” or “DevOps is Dead” contrarian viewpoints do the rounds because being contrarian is great clickbait and we still have a lot of learn about HOW to deliver a successful DevOps transformation.
What do you think the next 5 years of DevOps will hold?
