That's why most dev teams now do dev ops, where before you had an ops team and on premise infrastructure, which is still necessary in some sectors with strict data regulations but not for everyone.

Indeed. We now have dev teams trying to tinker around with infra layer and more often shooting themselves in the foot because the UI makes it easy to play around. We often read horror stories of a one person startup accidentally running up $1MM AWS bills.

That said, we will continue to have a need for dedicated dev-ops team. Just that instead of say 10 people team it'd require 2 person team. But you still need a person dedicated (maybe part time) baby-sitting infrastructure. Don't let every dev get their hands on infra.
