I think that any kind of “modern ops” necessarily includes coding, even if there isn’t a ton of Python or Rust being generated as part of the workflow. Kuberne

Kubernetes deployment configurations and Ansible playbooks are code. PromQL is code. Dockerfiles and cloud-init scripts are code. Terraform HCL is code.
It’s all code I personally hate writing, but that doesn’t make it less valid “software development” than (say) writing React code.
- CaveTech 8mo agoThese things are not nearly equivalent. It’s writing code, it’s not software engineering.
- SlightlyLeftPad 8mo agoCorrect, it’s systems engineering.
- verdverm 8mo agoIt's configuration management, systems engineering is low level imo
- SlightlyLeftPad 8mo agoI think you have it backwards. Systems engineering is the big picture discipline of designing & managing complex systems while config management is a specific process within that.
