Strongly disagree. DevOps is not the simple automation of operational infrastructure. That has been done for decades.

DevOps is about developer empowerment. It's about creating the systems and tools that give developers more control over the operation of their applications. It's about removing Ops as a technical barrier between new code and live code.

At least, (as someone whom most would label as "DevOps") that's what it means to me.
