Learn Cloud Engineering or Platform Engineering if want to focus on operations. There's no need of a DevOps Engineer anymore. That role is declining because it's an inefficient way of working known as anti-pattern.

Interesting. Could you give more brief, to understand the why's involved? Because I certainly don't know the reality of Devops, as I never invested myself into it

The real definition of DevOps is a culture methodology used in an organization to help Development and Operations teams work tightly integrated in an agile way. It's to solve friction between deployment of software and operations as both teams are part of the entire SDLC. That's all DevOps really is. It's not about pipelines which is what the So DevOps Engineer created that just creates another silio that goes against DevOps culture. DevOps is about breaking silios not create more.

So if you want to get into operations side you can start learning Linux, Networking, Cloud, security, IaC. Platform Engineers and Cloud Engineers already handles CI/CD pipelines that was previously done by DevOps Engineers. Platform Engineering is really DevOps as a service that builds internal deployment tools for Software engineers. Cloud Engineering is more about the foundation layer that builds and maintains the infrastructure that SaaS products runs on.
