Interesting, in my last company the team themselves thought DevOps was not a role, but more a responsibility that should be shared among all devs and they renamed themselves "Production Engineering".
They said it was admittedly not the best, clearest of the names, but the important thing is that DevOps should be shared, not owned. As a dev, it made a lot of sense to me
- phlakaton 7y ago> They renamed themselves "Production Engineering" That jibes with my experience, where there has generally been one or more groups that build and maintain infrastructure to enable dev teams to build, deploy, monitor, etc. But what do you call it? It's not a DevOps role per se, nor really an Ops role, but it enables DevOps. We called it Platform, but said we were hiring DevOps engineers. In short: it's a mess. :-)
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoThat role /team is real, especially in larger orgs, and a better name for it is "platform" / "platform team" / "platform engineering" not "DevOps". If you must call it "DevOps", it is "Devops enablement team", i.e. supplying a platform to enable dev teams to better Develop, build, deploy, monitor, Operate what they make, themselves - enabling others to do DevOps by supplying tools.
