Should there be? Instead of having students ship software in zip files or on paper, have them commit code to a VCS that automatically kicks off a report to the TAs? It lets them work in “proper environments” right from the start.

What should be the deliverable and the pipeline to it? X-ops does not actually make much sense to me. So if you automate a LaTeX paper script and data experiments linked to its figures could be one thing.

"X-Ops" is meant as X=younameit because some groups try to emphasize their specific part/aspect of lifecycle

Ah thought so. With the LaTeX thing I already automate this myself using overleaf and referencing as my studies is primarily software development automating results and the process can be very challenging and improbable.

Well ok in studies you do not have a real product, you focus on aspects here and there. For larger projects of course ci/cd and concepts like dependency mgmgt, iaas and testing make a lot of sense.

DevOps means a team made of Developers and Operators, it's an organization pattern. Who would be the Operators in your StudentOps, how would they differ in primary workload from the Sudents ?

DevOps is more like a mindset, that a concrete methodology, If you process have conditions to Flow, Feedback and Experiment, you are doing DevOps even if you don't have any Devs and Ops departments.
I am strongly recommend you read [The Phoenix Project][1]

Pd: DevSecOps sucks. Security should be embedded in Dev and Ops, don't add a new complexity layer.

I am still learning about DevOps, I wonder in Academia the workloads can often be quite heavy, I noticed there are variations on the DevOps methodology, e.g. DataOps and DevSecOps.

I wonder if there is something like StudentOps or similar to this especially targetted to the more scientific and computer science like subjects? I have noticed a similar question: [DevOps in research and science projects?](https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/6719) .
