Any additional information you'd like to impart

It works if I change manifests/repo.pp:42 from 6 to 7

HI @bkmeneguello, thanks for raising the issue. Are you able to provide a patch for this?

[bkmeneguello]

I am, but I'm not sure if epel 7 should be used always by amzn2. Can you confirm this assumption? If yes the PR is easy peasy.

[bastelfreak]

Sadly I don't have any amazon boxes by hand and I don't know their operating systems very well :(
