DevOps seems to be everywhere today. But what does the future hold for today’s tech darling? Will the principles and patterns of DevOps still be recognizable in three to five years?

This panel will try to peer into the crystal ball and foretell what the future of DevOps holds, and what it may look like in the near and farther future.
