- FinOps gets built into the systems, like vMotion from VMware
- Pre-Testing, Pre-Planning gets built in (like System Initiative)
- Chaos engineering gets built-in
- Collaboration gets built-in
- The OS becomes like containers and gets deterministic
- Upgrades are built-in

LESSONS LEARNED
- The cross the chasm adoption isn’t just for a specific technology, it’s for bigger systems too
- Rarely does the new thing completely replace the old thing (mobile excluded)
- Innovation will need to continue to be creative (e.g. open source, pricing, etc.)
- “Failures” are usually just incremental steps
