DevOps Engineer - Entire position exists primarily because Developers don't want to write YAML files

Not everyone is using ansible. But i am

DevOps Engineer - an entire position that exists because the people who usually deploy stuff are unable to read the deploy how-to that developers write.

Ex devops engineer. Can confirm, we're just yaml people.

Nah it is not about the burning hatered for a file format based on indentation

It is more that each prop in a yaml cloud config can have 12 similar variants - take a while to grasp - and can bork your server if you get it wrong.

And the company changes cloud deploy strategies every 2-3 years

In a large company it make sense to have a few devops doing this instead of 90 devs learning it from scratch to do it once

This feels like an pysch-op
