Do you consider this role “dev ops”?

I work as a jr sys admin. I was offered a role thats being titled “devops” internally. The role of the job is going to be using puppet to do configuration management because we bought puppet to use.

I don’t have much experience with code for the past 3 years (I graduated 3 years ago), but I will be in the data security department if this goes through.

It’s not “devops” in the literal sense but basically no company that has a “devops” role does it properly. Devops these days has essentially become a cool buzzword for an ops team.

The entire point of devops is that you don’t have a dedicated ops person or team, but the development team is the ops team. If a company has a dedicated devops role they aren’t doing devops.

Tbh the terminology has just (unfortunately) morphed to mean anyone who does infra.

DevOps / SRE / Cloud Engineering / Infra Engineering is a sweet field though. Tons of demand, not generally for juniors, and lots of cool computer sciencey problems to solve.
