Most of the devops (side question, is SRE technically devops?) people I work with are programmers who know a lot about test+build frameworks, CICD, cloud resource management, etc.
I don't think it would be appropriate to call someone copy-pasting templates, manually adding VMs, etc. "devops"
- simplyinfinity 7y agoIn my previous job we had hired a windows system administrator with no coding/scripting skills whatsoever with title as DevOps engineer, he didn't know anything about what developers do and CI & CD practices. So he ended up just managing updates (manually) on vms and restoring backups . But i see this more of a failure of management rather than the guys fault. Management heard a buzzword, and hired based on what they have hired before.
- dev_dull 7y ago> Most of the devops (side question, is SRE technically devops?) In my experience a “good” SRE, devops engineer, or software engineer is difficult to distinguish in skills. It’s more about responsibilities. This is especially true of the folks I’ve met from FANG.
- dijit 7y agoSRE is a way of implementing devops. It's pretty broadly mentioned in the first pages of the SRE books that google put out. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/sre-vs-devops-competing-standards-or-close-friends https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/sre-vs-devops-com...
