DevOps is Ops, not offending anyone, but this is how it looks in most larger enterprises and corporations. And the more those teams realize it, the more difficult it gets to find new talents on the market.

That is the home of Platform Engineering. It creates a developer-friendly environment with fast feedback cycles, Kubernetes utilization and simplification, and fun security and observability integrations. Here is how this role is doing where it takes the cherries from DevOps on the right and SRE on the left and makes something new from it.
