InfoWorld’s David Linthicum recently suggested it was time to retire the phase “cloud computing” and simply say “computing.” That’s how essential cloud has become — and why for the past couple of years cloud has framed my annual attempt to identify the nine key enterprise tech trends going forward.

In 2015, it became a lot clearer what cloud infrastructure in all its scalable, self-service glory will be best for: running applications composed of microservices outfitted with RESTful APIs. Most likely those services will run in containers, which give developers more control than ever in building, testing, and deploying applications…

Containers in turn support devops, where ops leverages new automation, instrumentation, and monitoring — and devs take new responsibility for applications in production. Sure, that’s just one sort of cloud operation, and few have all those pieces in place today. But it’s remarkable how quickly this shared vision of the future has coalesced…
