If it is, how is it going to be effected by the RHEL announcement which effectively kills centos?

AL2 was somewhat based on centos 7 since many things in epel work fine on it. The amazon linux extras tool can even enable the epel repos for you. A lot or all of the things dependent on python 3 in epel don't seem to work well though as AL2 has a newer python 3 version than centos 7.
