Those are your startups and web/app tier shops. Yes, they suck at sysadmin routinely and they need to be bottle fed a solution that fits the scatter/gather shape of their business. They don't want OPs discipline. They want a programmable solution that performs systems magic with a single toolset to learn.

No no, these are your enterprises I’m talking about mainly.

Places entrenched in manual processes for release and change management.

With true service delivery in a CI/CD fashion (including infrastructure, as it should be codified) many of these manual processes becomes obsolete.

Don’t get me wrong, the processes still exist, they are just sped up by a magnitude and automated.

Who said anything about manual processes? That's not what the modern SA does...it's mostly designing repeatable processes, creating recipes and integration in my experience.

The real problem with the K8s and devops world is no understanding of why there is no magic pill in 'codifying' a bad system.

I did. As I see it all to often mainly at the larger places.

Modern SA is about knowing that your job to help bring business value. Most of the time this is down to automation.
