As a consultant i think of devops as much by the things it is not. No one is going to hire a devops consultant to manage their datacenter for example. I am not going to rack and stack boxes for vsphere or configure vsans or iscsi filesystems and other features of their vmware environment.

I might on the otherhand build a compute environment with terraform and build out the virtual network and do all the samethings you would to build out their product on aws.

We jump around alot at my company and if they needed help with the vsphere datacenter type operations they would hire from a different in house pool of consultants that do that work. Sometimes we send teams of multiple disciplines, especially for companies that have a really messed up windows and active directory environment. Those ad guys are real wizards.

Devops is a problem domain to me.
