Here are my two:
1. Software supply chains. Our civilization is built on top of a layer of software that has a gaping security hole the size of a gas giant planet. It's also recursive - software dependencies themselves have further dependencies and so on. As we get into a world with autonomous trucks driving down highways at 60mph and cars that collect a complete profile of location data history of unsuspecting drivers and upload them for "analysis", this problem will explode in ways that very few people can even imagine much less predict.
2. Linux distro upgrades. An Ubuntu LTS release or an RHEL release will eventually come to end of life. At that time, performing an upgrade across a fleet of servers is a complete fucking nightmare. You test everything that you know to test, hit deploy and watch as your servers go down and reboot with a new software version and restart various services and containers and hope everything will be ok. This is not sustainable. A solution is needed and is worth $$$.
