The document discusses trends in the application development and testing industry, including continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) shifting testing left to earlier phases. It notes how Docker and containers are collapsing distinctions between development, testing, staging and production environments. Containers provide benefits like convenience, composability, being disposable and immutable. However, production readiness of containers is still being determined and challenges include fragmentation, integration into deployment pipelines, and ensuring dependency testing.

Decisions, Decisions
Ease of use for developers, operators and devops
Fragmentation is a given
Git and GitHub
simple deployment & integration into CD pipelines
monitoring (container/cloud native) as QA
Native container support
Decreased cycle time, visibility from planning to
production
Open source/inner source culture
Online dev and test is coming
Package managers- dependency testing is critical
