SysAdmin seems like a term from long time ago, where admins mounted hardware in 19" racks, installed cables and were typically found in a dark room with tons of hardware pieces, sitting in front of a display with an terminal and installing a Linux distro manually.

Today's admin work (if you can call it still "admin work") is completely different: Writing YAML code for your automation tools, checking the CI/CD pipeline and deploying stuff to the cloud. The industry gave this kind of work the term "DevOps".

Classic sysadmins are an extinct species. Shouldn't this day therefore not better be called "DevOps Day"?

Happy SysAdmin Day :-)
