Sadly I see it more and more often. I know many people, mostly recruiters, would beg to differ, but DevOps is still not a job title.
It’s a culture of cooperation, and automation within your organization. So it’s not one person, or a group of persons. It’s your entire organization that should be doing DevOps.
At the core it’s cooperation between developers and operations people to enable your organization to work smoother, develop your services faster with less problems. So it’s not a single engineer or a group of engineers who automate things. It’s your developers and operations people working together, automating together in cooperation.
It was all popularized by John Allspaw and Paul Hammond of Flickr, with their Velocity 09 presentation “10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr”. See for yourself:
