Wherever I went, I have seen the war between developers and sysadmins being fought. In enterprise the sysadmins have the upper hand, in frontend, mobile, SMB the developers.
Developers don't have the burden of maintaining and upgrading multiple applications on the same server, with conflicting dependencies. 24/7.
Sysadmins don't feel the pressure by end-users to deliver new features yesterday.
At the moment developers are winning because Docker. But when they grab that responsibility they will be the ones called when their 50000 containers are being hacked because vulnerabilities. And they will be under fire for the system being down and that costing the company a lot of money, so everybody breathing down their necks.
