This is what the Microsoft Website shows:

"step 2 : Exams
Pass one of the following exams during the 2017 Calendar Year. Be sure to explore the exam prep resource. "

If you look under the Exams section you'll see the list of exams that will qualify for the MCSE.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/mcse-cloud-platform-infrastructure.aspx

Pass any one of these exams along with a qualifying MCSA and you'll receive the MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infrastructure.

As far as retirement of these exams, they are not listed on the exams to retire page.

They will likely expire soon before or soon after the EOL for Server 2012. (10/10/2023)
