I generally think of "devops" as a dying career. Yes the "cloud" created a lot of need for people who understand system administration and can apply it to swarms of computers (aka the cloud).
But cloud vendors realize that the next value add for them is to start working towards eliminating the need for "devops". Thus new platforms are emerging that stitch together common compute, db, storage and messaging components in a way that is palatable to most cloud customers thus reducing greatly the need for a "devops" team at customer companies.
So a "devops" career strikes me as a perilous career, AI takeover or not.
In the context of this thread howeveer, I'm thinking that the LLMs are more likely to impact programmers first. However it's the cloud vendors themselves that are working hard at eliminating jobs for "devops" people. That's the whole goal of "serverless" after all.
