> Sysadmin is a System Administrator, which performs operations manually.

For decades before DevOps was coined, Sysadmins were automating infrastructures with tools like Kickstart, Jumpstart, CFEngine, ISconf, Rancid, netboot/pxeboot/dhcp, etc. I first provisioned infrastructure with CFEngine in 1996 or 1997.

So, you did DevOps work in 1996, long before the DevOps term was coined.
