You’ve just identified the (obvious to systems engineers) problem of every movement that tries to bypass IT Operations and has Developers just do it. System engineering is actually a completely different skill than development, and past a very small size, it’s not reasonable to expect the same person to know everything. DevOps and the Cloud are just the most recent marketing campaigns trying to promise that one can get rid of “those pesky Ops people who just cost you money anyway”. Things can run fine when there are no problems, but then you realize that nobody who’s left is able to fix things when they go wrong. The mentality of “just reboot (or redeploy the container)” only take you so far.
