Remember the SysAdmin heroes? Masters of the command line, guardians of physical servers, wizards of complex scripts. Their world was defined by late-night pages, multiple SSH sessions, and scripts named “backup_final_v2_OLD.sh”. Technology, relentless as ever, demanded evolution. Suddenly, they weren't just managing boxes; they were writing infrastructure as code. Renaming scripts wasn't enough; GitOps (managing infrastructure and deployments through Git and automated pipelines) became the standard. The old walls between "them" (Ops) and "us" (Devs) began to crumble.
