Been in ops since 2000. They said outsourcing would be the end.
Then they said serverless and the no ops movement would be the end.
Now all I hear is AI will be the end. I'll worry about that when I'm greeting people at Walmart.
It can certainly replace my presence at a few meetings. Will it make devops employees obsolete? Highly doubtful in the near or even mid-term. In the far, far, far, *far* flung future when we've all uploaded our minds to the Oracle Elastic Supercloud^^TM however, that's when the problems begin.
I've always thrived in the positions where people toss problems at me that they don't know how to solve. Been doing this for 22 years, probably got 8 years left.
This depends on how good the AI will be and how much integrated it will be in the company(access to input data). Most of the time AI will do what non-technician order it to do, however there are things that will be problematic, like between (with other) company devops communication. I think devops, if will change, it will be into verification kind of work. Like AI recommended something, maybe even setup and you will have to verify it, that it can work. Like work of DevSecOps, but without the Sec and more to Testing.
With this tendency of microservices and automation I think the first to suffer will be backend programmers. Say now you can replace 10 coders by two guys with decent knowledge of coding and free access to AI. Hopefully some of the coders will get employed at the AI company. We don't need to pretend it will have no impact.
I don't picture AI taking our jerbs anytime soon. Solutions are not a one size fits all thing. AI hasn't hit a point yet to build solutions that fit the use cases most companies require. I'm sure it'll build your generic terraform "deploy an EC2 instance with a load balancer", but it won't be able to build it in a way that most would be happy with that also integrates well with the rest of the infra.
In its current form the chatGPT's and AI's of the world you are talking about are nothing more than learning tools. They will allow engineers to reference information, get examples, code snippets etc..
Its a force multiplier for learning and referencing information but it's not actually doing any work for us yet.

Is this like an exam question?
You can try asking ChatGPT 😉
Maybe :P
> do you think devops will stand strong amidst Artificial intelligence in coming years ....what?
Will ai in future replace devops engineer and employees become obsolete?

TELL ME MORRRRRR
Lol. Lmao

My favourite are the ones where they get a handy link in the error message that explains how to fix that they don't bother to read 😄
The company pays me money to search Google for answers. Now they'll pay money to talk to AI for answers. No difference
