These are all things I deal with in my day to day as well in a DevOps / Infrastructure / Platform type of role. I mean, not literally everything like air-gapped environments since the companies I work for don't have that but it's all things in that category of line of work.

The only difference is I usually don't interface directly with the company's customers of the services being built. It's more like the company's staff are my customers because I'm working with developers, management and sometimes other parts of the business on ways to help optimize their workflows which all funnel back to helping create a better end customer experience.
