  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?
