I’ve always thought that “DevOps” was a way of life (really, a way of looking at cross-functional interactions) and not a functional title. So, my $0.02 is that it would steal from SF.

I've been supportive of the NetEng site from the start, mostly because there are definitely "Network Engineering Experts" whose experience may have zero overlap with Server Fault. DevOps, though, seems like a definite shot-across-the-bow of ServerFault, mostly because at some level, every sysadmin is also a developer (of sorts) and has to deal with the same kinds of issues. I don't want to belittle the term DevOps -- there are definitely job roles that are more solidly defined as development-and-operations, but the term itself doesn't have a solid definition. If you consider it to be a very broad field of expertise, then it's a vampire site, draining both serverfault and stackoverflow. If you consider it a very narrow field of expertise, then I suppose making a different site makes sense.

My two cents (disclaimer, I’m a moderator, since area 51 and beta, of the network engineering stack)… Yes, it’s probably an overlap to some extent. SE policy has is “don’t cleave topical material out of one stack, to make another stack.” We worked really hard to establish NetEng, and we’ve had to “that’s off-topic” a lot of things that really could be handled on NetEng, to tow the SE line. Meanwhile, the huge stacks like SF are just too busy to use at all. So these tight little topics never get any air or life. -- Craig Constantine, http://constantine.name On Apr 25, 2016, at 9:58 AM, Peter Grace <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Disclaimer: I work at stack but I am not speaking as an employee of stack. I do have moderator on Server Fault, however I don't participate much. Forgive me for asking perhaps a loaded question, but isn't devops already in-scope for stackoverflow.com<http://stackoverflow.com> and serverfault.com<http://serverfault.com>?
