But that’s in line with the whole premise of DevOps, right? That the strict separation between dev and ops is a bad thing, and it’s good that devs get involved with ops and vice versa.

I don’t think this has to do with containers per se, but they do help a lot with that goal.

Agreed. The core concept is that we should automate away as much of the ops workload as possible so (1) devs don’t need to learn the whole ops skill set and (2) no one is doing things that computers could do automatically. Containers and orchestration technologies are a form of automating away a lot of ops work (if you need to package an application you don’t need to solve for SSH, package management, log exfiltration, monitoring, or any of a dozen other things).
