DevOps is fun and you'll learn a lot in a short amount of time. You will have to learn a bunch of stuff about automation, how different technologies are built and deployed, source control, etc. It's a steep learning curve but awesome if you're up to the challenge. It is never boring. I've been working on DevOps processes since before it was called DevOps. I've always been happy to be in this sector. Keep in mind that there is no set definition for DevOps. Some purists will argue what I do, setting up the tools and automation then let the devs do their thing, is not DevOps. They might believe that DevOps means developers set everything up and support everything. Of course, that doesn't scale. Other companies just rebrand build engineers as DevOps. That's about the most boring thing I can think of, besides QA. :-) Good luck!
