What is the future of software systems machine learning

I have been brewing the idea of using machine learning to improve software systems since 2016. It was pretty vague and broad, without an actionable plan. I just had the intuition -- the software configuration and tuning, especially after the adoption of microservices, was getting too complex. If you have enough experience in the software industry, then it's very likely that you've struggled with either a configuration problem or a tuning problem. Configuration and tuning problems are pretty common and can lead to really bad outages.
