DevOps transformation: Key differences in small, midsize, and large organizations

Thank you! AI/ML has (will have) enabled us to drive the production first mindset. We're able to analyse more effectively and pro-actively react to potential issues quicker. Often before the end-user realises there is an issue, or even better, before it becomes a potential issue for end-users. Many of today's live site incident calls, the infamous 2AM calls, are triggered by the engineering system, not humans. This is just the tip of the iceberg on how AI/ML will help us improve productivity. BUT … there's a small voice at the back of my mind repeating "Skynet" :)
