Disclaimer: I'm an ops guy (technically SRE by job title).

There's so much more to Operations than just running pure infrastructure. It's not only about bare metal and application server configuration or maintaining your CI/CD pipeline.

Data life-cycle (backups), capacity planning, incident management, monitoring and KPIs are just some of the items from the top of my head.

I'm not saying that developers can't do that, it's just... if they do, they are doing Operations and you effectively have Ops in your organisation.

Ops is not only about installing and managing LAMP stacks..
