There are two kinds of DevOps.<p>You have DEVops... think of a web developer who also knows linux.<p>Then you have devOPS... think of a sysadmin who knows bash and python.<p>The former is where I think the value comes.. they find ways to automate your infrastructure and do lots of cool things. The later tend to make webs of bash scripts that you have to delete when they quit because no one understands them.
