I think the article misses a bigger fight which is between Microsoft's Azure vs. AWS. All what Microsoft is doing is catering to devs who want better tools to deal with servers in the cloud.
Imagine this potential tactic:
1. Create great tools such as Visual Studio Code to serve as first point contact with devs of all types and stacks
2. Start creating plugin or easy to integrate dev workflow in those types of tools with Azure
3. Make it so easy and reasonably cost effective that people may start switching away from AWS to Azure
I don't think Microsoft is trying to kill or encroach Linux but instead cooping those devs into moving to Azure platform where the market growth is; while still protecting the existing cash cows.
