On a broader subject. Do u think in the future will devs have to worry about setting up docker or k8s etc or rather just leverage a PaaS such as cloud foundry? I like dev but not ops :)

That's a good question. Cloud is becoming more of a default. Tools will become better. It will be easier to do these things. There will be more services with a one click and you are in the cloud or just knobs and levers to pull to scale your app up and down. With that said there will always be a need to build these tools, question is it that falls into the laps of normal devs... DevOps is a very strong movement at the moment and understanding dev + devops imo makes you more into an architect

Thanks for the info and your time. I believe the whole ops side of devops will die off in 3-5 years as the tooling, PaaS (e.g cloud foundry) etc make it easier to any ops required and we will just e back to dev again :) lets wait and see. There might be a topic for a blog in our mini discussion :)
