Most production changes require a second set of eyes, sometimes from a particular team, but it's all "just" code review. You put your change in the team's queue, their oncall engineer reviews it the same day, you land the change and it gets executed automatically. Most have implemented namespacing so that changes that only affect your own team's stuff can be approved within your team.

This is all on owned hardware. The difference is that we're a SWE driven company (corporate IT is off in its own world, run in the more traditional way, but they don't touch engineering's production datacenters). Infrastructure teams provide APIs, not JIRA forms.
