What is DevOps and why is it important

With the recent purchase of Heroku by salesforce made me think about the future of the "SysAdmin".

As I was writing this I saw a recent talk given by Jacob Kaplan-Moss at Django Boston Meetup titled DevOps.

The job of a SysAdmin is changing, frameworks like Django and Ruby on Rails along with services providers like Google Apps, Heroku, VMForce, and Djangy give developers everything they need. The role of a SysAdmin is going to become very specialized, unless your talking about Windows systems ;)
