If you're referring to the SSPL (it's unclear), it can be used without obligations when a service uses it as a storage, rather than providing it as a service to the clients. Since the latter case is essentially cloud companies, I'm confused by the business nature of the "hundreds of customers"; if they're not cloud companies, Elasticsearch pre- or post-license change makes no difference.

If a "DevOps" company purely provide deployment services, and doesn't offer a managed Redis service, SSPL makes no difference. It seems that the term "DevOps/services" is a way to refer to companies that offer Redis as managed service, without calling them "cloud providers". This type of service is what a large part of the IT community is againt, and that licenses like AGPL/SSPL try to prevent.
