The shift to "cloud/devops/automation" is kinda a good thing, but I feel it has created an abstraction layer on the basic OSI Model. Things that I have observed during the last years:

Cloud - basically you are in the hands of the cloud provider, no real control. More frequent downtime.

Devops - You are in the hands of the tools that you are working with, but not really understanding whats underneath of how thing are "working toghether".

Automation - More time for fun stuff
