DevOps is the practice of using modern software methods to automate the tasks of operations work. That includes using version control, templating languages and various forms of role-based configuration automation. Anyone who thinks they can hire a devop or declare that they do devops is as deluded as 97% of the folks who claim that they are doing Agile.
