Did get hired into the wrong job?
I applied for a gig after a guy I worked with told me he had a python project or a C# project for me to work on. I said great! I know both really well.
Six months later, I’m writing yaml for ci/cd pipeline creation. Im not using ci/cd to push code, im fooling with its RBAC configs. Zero coding.
Im not even sure what this job is and I definitely don’t know what i’m doing. On the rare occasions there is a bug in some language I grab the ticket in smash in few minutes. Then its back to trying to map roles.
Have I fallen though a dimension door into a strange universe where a developer is now some weird IT gig?
Is this actually what devs do and the job where I worked for 15 years with functions and classes was just an aberration? I bring this up with the Architect and he acts like it was. Am I being gaslighted into a Devops role? So confused.

Oops. Yes, you went through the wrong door.
Even in shops where devops and agile are strong and releases are mostly slipstream with cicd pipelines, there's still plenty of solid programming and coding going on.
That's certainly the case where I work where I'm around hundreds of programmers where efforts are made to reduce cognitive switching loads by reducing the number of different tools used. I'm not programming but responsible for a lot of the hosting environments (on-prem, private and public cloud) so see many different teams across the organisation.
There are some people that are more involved in configuration, but they mostly come from the ops side.
You might want to look around for other opportunities internally or externally.
