Until Amazon, Microsoft, or Google move up the stack.

(Or maybe all three. They really are eating the industry, but they add value so, yeah, I guess they deserve their rent. Just sucks for anyone else in that space.)

I think it’s inevitable. Cloud providers will continue to move up the stack so other firms can focus more resources on their unique and differentiated offerings. It just seems like in the future most companies shouldn’t have any notion of servers/containers etc, they will only focus on their core business logic. We’ll just keep going upupupupup.

Ever upwards abstraction my friend. Seriously, I thought Kubernetes would be it, but now all my coworkers are trying to get me to use Istio, which at first glance seems to be ... a managed containerization for different Kubernetes managed containers?

Turtles all the way down I guess, which now I’ll have to spend all weekend on researching unfortunately.
