> DevOps people are generally assigned to a team Yeah and this is a great solution (aside from the bus factor), maybe the person I responded to was really concerned less about knowledge and more about expertise (the word they did use in their was expert) At a company I worked with we called this T-shaped engineers. Deep in one thing, but broadly knowledgeable. Devs have to have knowledge of ops, but not "expertise" that is ultimately what ops is for, we may just ultimately be fighting over where the knowledge line is sufficient and what constitutes "expertise" :-). I for instance think terraform is not that much of a footgun and provides good rails to be used by developers.
