I've been working with automations platforms for so long, starting with puppet (not quite OG enough to have started with CFengine), chef, and ansible, plus working with things like terraform, AWS + CloudFormation, Kubernetes for the last few years that, and CI/CD tools, along with being an old bash and php script sys admin, that I'm fairly comfortable with those things.
I just always emphasize to employers I'm an ops guy and am a pretty competent scripter but not a developer (and that I recognize the significant difference between the two).
But I think that's why I like automations. There is the "developer-esque" type skills that you need to have to truly use them effectively, but you don't really need to be a developer. Scripting knowledge and very fundamental programming language understanding it plenty sufficient.
