To a large extent, Dev has just had to deal with the fact that the they're coding for an AWS world and can't necessarily design for specific hardware. They're designing for a generic "cloud environment" with a few modifiable parameters, because they recognize the benefit in ease of deployment and scalability.
I'm sure it's solved some of their headaches while presenting other, new ones.
In the bad old days before dev-ops systems admins and engineers often had some pretty good pissing contests around blame shifting and pitching shit over the wall. Though it has come down, in tone, this relationship does exist to some extent still. I think they have captured the dynamic but skipped the actual exchanges/interactions to spare a less technical audience.
