The cloud is built on Linux - so the answer is no, AWS is not killing Linux. But it's killing Linux admin jobs. If you absolutely don't want to work on anything but Linux you might find a good job at any cloud provider.

You are right. Mariano Rentería is perhaps saying that Linux administrator work will be less required due to AWS.

I think this is just a fear of Mariano. For example on AWS to perform a disaster recovery you need to know how GNU / Linux works, at least a little.
