Infrastructure already is streamlined as hell these days, even bare metal installations. Manual installations from 1996 versus a kickstarted USB installation, iPXE, etc. already feels like things are on pre-school level.

What will very likely not be going away in the next decade is networks.

Unless we can build tooling for setting up the network infrastructure below all these cloud tools, you will still be stuck with people doing admin work like 30 years ago. From personal experience: k8s clusters are easy. Building the hardware and especially networking below so that everything actually can be automated in k8s... whole different story.
