It is a primarily knowledge-intense profession where you can't just hire some untrained professionals and let them hack together an app. Or cannibaliize data-analystis and make them build some backend.
- threatofrain 2y agoThat implies the reverse! That DevOps is hotter than ever.
- surfingdino 2y agoNo. Ops is back. DevOps has just not worked in practice over the last decade as clients had let go of ops and dumped all work onto devs. We will be seeing an increase in demand for ops + cloud + k8s skills, which is the right direction to go into. We will also be seeing a significant move away from the cloud and you need old-school ops skills for that. Not necessarily for deploying, but definitely for configuring server and networks and debugging performance issues.
- DarkNova6 2y agoWait. Not every company needs to work like Google Or Netflix? (sorry, couldn't resist). Ops-knowledge is so much in demand that anybody with an actual "DevOps" role has done Ops nearly exclusively. In all seriousness, this is what I am seeing already. Often I see a platform team providing an Openshift for developers to rule as they want. There is cooperation on some levels and a technical architect who is setting standards. And most companies don't want to pay the price tag that comes with an actually good DevOps guy anyway.
