At our organization, a bunch of devs which were interested in improving/automating infrastructure split into a separate DevOps team. They first called themselves DevOps, then renamed themselves to SRE, then again to Production. Every time they changed their name they prepared presentations for the whole company explaining the name change and why the previous name wasn't correct after all. Everyone is still confused and always forgets what's their current official name.
Other than that, there's also:
- a separate IT department which manages networks, telephony and access
- the ones who push people to update software/OS is InfoSec, a separate team
- ordinary developers can make changes to k8s/grafana/Prometheus configs for their services, if it's reviewed by Production as the owners (they're understaffed compared to the multiple dev teams)
- there's also the "Core" team which deals with the microservice platform on top of bare infrastructure (how microservices should communicate, etc.)
Often the lines are blurred and it's not always clear who you call if you have a problem.
