As an ops person, is it not your profession to make applications work in the real world with firewalls, load balancing, certificates, and mandatory access control? I have never worked somewhere where that wasn't part of the sysadmin/ops/SRE/devops role. Where devs do it, it's only because you're small enough to lack the specialists.

Yeah, when I was an infrastructure engineer, this was definitely part of the work I was expected to do, though eventually I turned it into educating and supporting developers in understanding security technologies and leveraging them for their application development. But that's just because I wanted to do it that way.
