Not asking much then?

So the requirements are to be super lovely people with a super broad range of skills and super flexibility to learn even more skills without needing to take a break? I think I met one of those once, about 20 years ago. And of course we are all large corporates because anyone smaller doesn't have the luxury of being able to randomly swap around the Dev and Ops staff just for the 'broadening of experience'. Normally you get given a pile of books ans told "well volunteered, you get to be the standby, learn this in your own time".

Oh, and "hampering after"? Really? Are you sending out a large basket to capture people and wrap them in a gingham picnic blanket or did you mean "hankering"?

p.s. as remarked above 'DevOps' does have similarities to an IT GP (good name!) though the IT-GP would tend to be the solo small company tech person rather than this new desire for a team of randomly interchangeable bricks in the wall, sorry I mean valuable tech personnel...
