DevOps admins and traditional IT admins usually have distinct
responsibilities. An IT admin tends to focus on user support, system
maintenance, and hardware provisioning; a DevOps admin is more concerned
with software-based controls that define and implement specific workflow
processes. You'd usually go to your IT admin if you were having problems
logging in or accessing a specific internal system. A DevOps
admin would be the better choice when you can't deploy to production or
you're struggling to set up a development environment. The line is vague,
though: Especially in smaller teams, the two roles may be held by one person
or informally assumed on a collective basis.
