How modern DevOps practices are changing the operations role

The concept of NoOps, which predicted the complete automation of operations roles, has proven unrealistic as modern DevOps practices have significantly expanded the responsibilities of operations professionals. According to the 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey, operations roles have evolved to include managing cloud and hardware infrastructure, maintaining toolchains, overseeing compliance and audits, and engaging in platform engineering and DevOps coaching. With developers increasingly taking on operational tasks such as environment provisioning and infrastructure monitoring, the traditional lines between roles are blurring. The focus on automation has increased, with a notable portion of operations now being fully automated, yet the overwhelming amount of DevOps data poses a challenge in terms of management. The new responsibilities, especially in security and data handling, highlight the dynamic nature of the modern DevOps landscape, where both operations and development teams are adapting to more complex and integrated roles.
