> Some companies think DevOps means having an automated pipeline for building, testing, and shipping code.

This seems to be the most common interpretation, but I largely agree with you on no hard and fast rule here.

It's because it ultimately does mean that.

I mean, sure, if we're being pedantic about it, devops is about the silos coming closer together, cross learning, culture and what have you, etc.

But the outcome of that the cross learning is pretty much release engineering, that includes the above and the products giving more data for helping run them, and simplicity leading to being easier to fix, and do the aforementioned things.

I also think we should just get over it and probably just adopt SRE, Release Engineer and Product. Not because I <3 google, just because the split makes a tad bit more sense.
