These days DevOps is used as a bludgeon to fire sysadmins and make devs pretend to manage infrastructure. The idea from the corporate viewpoint is to save money by not having anyone to handle systems stuff, just shove into "The CloudTM" as serverless microservices, then just restart it when it falls over instead of troubleshooting. Yes, I'm cynical. Having to use javalike stuff to do what should be a simple shell script will do that to you.
