What i will add here is that always be on look out for vendor documentation and release notes/events. I recently attended a event by CISCO and Dell which was an eye opener to what these market leaders are offering and now working upon for release in future. This holds good for other vendors as well as for start ups. You must stay updated on the latest features, updates, and releases from technology OEMs/ vendors by regularly reviewing their documentation, release notes, and product announcements. Vendors like Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle provide extensive documentation and resources for their products and services. You must try to attend online or offline as convenient and hear views of market leaders.
