I have a clear statement in my profile at linkedin: I am a Unix/Linux sysadmin, not a "DevOps" or a "Cloud/AWS/Azure engineer". I am only doing traditional Unix/Linux sysadmin stuff.
There is not a day going by where a recruiter doesn't tell me "we are urgently looking for an experienced Linux sysadmin. Are you interested?"

As for the term "DevOps", I am never sure what people mean when they use it. You seem to be using in contrast to traditional linux sysadmin. What exactly does DevOps mean in your definition?
- harryruhr 5y agoDevOps originally means a method. It is not a position or a job. But that doesn't stop companies to say, there are looking for an "DevOps engineer" or similar. The definition is vague at best. Some seem to think a "DevOps" is a developer who knows how to administrate servers (or vice versa), as a modern term for a general IT person who can do anything, from programming, to firewall administration and repairing the printer. Another definition is more specific, DevOps means in this case: working with CI/CD tools, programming "infrastructure as code" (Terraform, Ansible, etc) and doing all things "agile". This job is mostly cloud focussed.
