I don&#x27;t want to be a downer, but devops is definitely NOT just a new name for being a sysadmin. We&#x27;ve actively recruited for people who are not old fashioned jump-on-a-box-and-make-hot-changes sysadmins. They need to understand automated infrastructure and deployment through code, so it&#x27;s not a small niche to just pick up easily. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn&#x27;t pay so  well.
