Hello, I'm just wondering and I'm waiting your answer impatience.

I checked DevOps jobs application count and I saw estimated applied count between 100 and 200 around but at the same time I checked SRE job its estimated applied count between 20 and 100.

SRE and DevOps Engineeralmost same using tools just principle different.

Why SRE jobs low count of application, IF you don't have an experience would you applied SRE Jobs instead of devops jobs ?

A really nice way to explain the difference, thanks!
The client-based point of view on the roles example really helped me to wrap my head around all the experience I had with DevOps and SRE teammates!
BTW, what do you think about the trend of pushing the classic responsibilities of DevOps/SRE on developers, pros/cons?
