Is the systems administrator/engineer going to disappear?

The fact that one article is from Oreilly and the other from CIO.com should tell you right there which one will be more accurate on a technical subject. And the CIO.com one is based on a car analogy and we know how well those work...
 
Clouds are more complex environments, now more then ever, you need a sys admin! They are simple when working, but when something goes wrong, it can be complex to troubleshoot, and you need someone who is very familiar with the setup.

I could see MAYBE in the future where server infrastructures become equivalent to a light switch where most people nowdays dont call an electrician, but "maintain" it themselves (ex: changing the switch to a newer one), but that time is not near.
 
no. we're the grunts who take care of the foundation that programmers ALWAYS screw up. programmers by trade have acute tunnel vision and do not see past their own screens. when someone goes wrong with the dev platform, who do they come running to. Us. They need us just as much as we need them.
 
Everytime I see the title of this article, I keep imagining myself fading away like Michael J Fox in Back To The Future.
