Linux Administration in Distributed Cloud Computing Environments
summary
Forecasts that 50 percent of corporate data centers go away while only about one third of business apps land in hyperscale clouds and two thirds become distributed, driven by roughly 20 billion devices today growing to 80 billion by 2025. Recommends pushing microservices in containers to cloudlets or cell-tower edges, treating host OS as tiny and immutable containers replaced rather than patched, using orchestration (OpenStack/Magnum, Kubernetes) and accepting CAP tradeoffs and occasional kernel hot‑patching.
