Well.... on the most basic level, a DevOp is just a Developer, who also Operates the developed solutions.
It never hurts to get some additional skills, but to answer your question... as a DevOp you usually are a Full Stack Dev with skills for Operations (deploy, configure, secure, little bit of network stuff ...)

Andreas that's so completely the thoughts I had in my mind when I decided to do the AWS certs. However I was so shocked that after I shared my goals publicly the very next 3 senior devs I spoke to said '...oh you want to go down the DevOps path then and not be a full stack developer'. My jaw dropped and I didn't know what to say. FYI Those conversations were the precipitating events that caused me to post my question here and I'm glad I did, because you and everyone else have really been helpful.
