I found this guidance odd as well. This implies that, in an organization with 500 engineers, 100 (!) of them would be working on infra.
What would those 100 engineers even do? For the longest time, we had ~10 sysadmin and devops staff supporting 300 engineers. Nowadays, everything is run by AWS anyway--there's hardly any real infra to manage.
- kortilla 4y agoWhoever setup how you deploy to AWS, monitor, collect logs, etc is doing your infrastructure engineering. Many places don’t realize that the infrastructure engineering is just being left to random software engineers in a “whoever touched it last owns in” type setup. You’re likely wasting resources or doing other dumb things (bad AWS role management) if you don’t have someone who owns that stuff.
