As far as I can tell from doing years of contracting for non-FANG mid to large size companies -- they basically do their best to copy whatever trends they see coming out of FANG. There is no thought behind it.

Kubernetes and 'DEVOPS' are the new hotness at non-FANG companies as they are always 5-10 years behind the trends. Expect to see more of it before it goes out of fashion.

Also DevOps is just a title. Nobody read the book, nobody is trying to create what the original guy at Google or whatever had in mind. It is just a all encompassing job doing the same activities that the sysadmin used to do. HR tells companies that they should rename their sysadmin departments to DevOps departments and everything else continues as normal.
