Dev, Ops and the future of operating systems

Abstract:

Linux distros and Windows NT both date back to 1993 and the principles of the operating systems we use today are rooted in that era. The way we use O/S and software has changed dramatically since, and the role of O/S has shifted considerably. In contrast, O/S themselves still work with the same concepts and ideas, which gave birth to many tools trying to bridge the gap. This talk will cover the evolution of O/S in recent years and emerging trends which may prevail in the near future.
