Well, if you did DevOps the way it is meant to be used, the idea is that the developers can do the minimal efford of the ops part, and you no longer need that role itself. So, depending on what a company means by DevOps, it could mean developers willing to that bit extra, and clearly we need ever more developers, or they could understand it as just a modern kind of ops, in which case they are NOT doing DevOps. Kubernetes has its complexities, but it certainly doesn't require more people than previous methods. But what it does require, is people with new skills, and lots of companies want to move away from their old fields to this new, and therefore neeed to fill those roles, while people only begin to reeducate. Add to that, that more companies are doing more IT in more kinds of business segments, and in many countries the bigger generations are leaving for pension, with less people coming after. DevOps, true or not, is hardly the only field with a lack of enough educated people. You will find the same in lots of engineering fields.
