As to whether automation will happen, trivially yes, automation is why you can deploy 100k+ server fleets without requiring a stadium full of sysadmins. As to whether automation gets you below “20% of my engineers work on DevOps”, I am not optimistic at scale.

sysadmin was 90% managing automation from the start, any new automation you add will still need to be managed by a sysadmin
