This has the added benefit of allowing assigned engineers to grow their cloud and DevOps skills while also reducing as many unknowns as possible around deployments, environments, and infrastructure changes. It's my job to keep in sync with delivery leads on priorities, environment allocation, risks, etc, as well as act as the technical interface for the client to help guide them on infrastructure and release decisions without overloading them with DevOps jargon.'
