There is a definition of device I read somewhere a while ago. "Devops is developers performing ops using automation". So, the real question is whether or not an organization possesses the capacity to reliably build, test, deploy, and monitor their infrastructure.<p>There does need to be a team that is responsible for the production environment but they should be using automated tools built by folks who understand both the technologies in use as well as the key performance indicators of the business (as measured by the monitoring system).
