The operations teams’ dependencies on the need for special skills will reduce, due to the unified container and cloud management capabilities
Genuine end-to-end automation will free up developers to innovate and gain greater agility in completing application releases on-demand
Enhanced security features for cloud environments will also reduce operational overhead, enabling partners and their customers to build applications, drive innovation and deliver value.
