From what I understand, DevOps is when a single person or team is responsible for developing the software; standing up , configuring and maintaining the instances it runs on. So the person or team is responsible for not only the software, but everything it takes to run successfully in a production (dev/qa/etc) environment. It stands to break the wall/barrier between development, DBA, and NetOps. It's actually empowered by cloud services which are easier to stand up / maintain than a local infrastructure. I hope it's not dead, it's super efficient. It does take a person / team who is willing to learn the nuances of network / database administration though. It's nothing new, but it's new to employ at larger organizations which typically silo development, database admin and NetOps.
