Topics covered:

We go way back together to being pundits in the early WS* and SOA days with Agile as a discipline, then early cloud and API-driven integration, with DevOps as a practice. Why do these megatrends become passe over time?
As  the cloud-native vendor landscape evolves, what are the biggest changes and challenges faced by companies delivering applications in the last 2-3 years?
How do companies know how mature their organizations are on their cloud journey?
Optional – have an interesting customer challenge or transformation, or turnaround story?
Is Kubernetes really going to be the third wave of distributed computing, or will it likely be defined as something else?
Why is it so much easier to manage technology, than manage people?
