Completely agree. In the last couple of years there has been a push to say that ops are no longer needed and that a dev/engineer can do ops. I've found this to be a fallacy, and while true a developer might be able to use docker, or serverless, they usually have zero idea of the configuration used and no actual in-depth understanding of how these services work and communicate. Thus no idea how to scale or fix problems.
For the last 5 or 6 years, people have been waving their arms saying platforms as a service (Heroku, etc) or containers eliminate the need for servers. Howerver, the cloud server market has only ballooned in size. AWS has continued to explode with huge revenue numbers. Google Cloud is fasty maturing and a threat to Amazon. Azure is competing as well. Servers aren't going away.. Ops aren't going anywhere...
Anyway, I bring up this rant, because I just founded my third startup Elastic Byte (https://elasticbyte.net) which is a DevOps and cloud infrastructure management as a service. If anybody is looking for professional ops to manage their cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Azure) I'd love to chat.
