I want to do LDAP authentication on my Amazon Linux server.
The CentOS howtos say to
yum install sssd
But that gives:
No package sssd available.
Amazon Linux is not Centos, it doesn't use the same repositories. Generally, Amazon Linux is mostly compatible with Redhat/Centos repositories. But you may run into dependency issues.

I would like to run Memgraph on Amazon Linux. How can I install it? Are there prebuild packages specific for Amazon Linux?
For Amazon Linux you would probably need a working build for Fedora. Currently, Memgraph did not release a build for Fedora, but plans to do so soon. If possible, try installing Memgraph with Docker on Amazon Linux.
You can download the Memgraph package for Linux on the Memgraph download page. At the moment Memgraph offers installation packets for the following Linux distributions:
CentOS 7
CentOS 9
Debian 10
Debian 11
Debian 11 (ARM64/AArch64)
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 22.04
On top of that, you can install Memgraph as Docker on Linux.
Also, if you want, you can deploy Memgraph using Docker or Kubernetes.
Amazon Linux is not listed and supported at the moment. Since it supports RPM packages, packages for CentOS could work but I didn't test it.
I installed centos7 on aws. And I installed aws with the usual Fusionpbx installation method. However, after I installed Fusionpbx, ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error occurred when I connected to https: // in window10.
Even if you disable HTTP and HTTPS inbound on the firewall, the error still exists.
How do I install fusionpbx on aws?
The install instructions for CentOS and other Operating Systems are located here. The preferred and most polished operating systems for FusionPBX are Debian (preferred by FreeSWITCH Developers), FreeBSD, CentOS in that order.

I am using a Amazon Linux AMI base ec2 instance. The current openssh version on the instance is
OpenSSH_6.2p2
Question is how to upgrade it to openssh 6.4.
I was searching it and could not find the answer
An updated openssh package is available in the Amazon Linux AMI repositories. This update adds fixes for CVE-2014-2653 and CVE-2014-2532. To install the update run:
sudo yum install openssh
If datacenter doesn't allow commands like yum, rpm, is there an alternative way to do an on-prem install of OPDK?
They will actually have to install their own local yum repository -- this means building up a rpm repository outside the data center and then brining that into the data center. Then you point yum on the Apigee machine to the internal yum repository.
We have a couple clients who have done this (who probably don't want it advertised so contact me directly for who has done it this way).
You can setup yum client and yum server. Yum client being the machine in the datacenter and yum server which is the machine from which you can pull all required repositories.
Yum will be used to download repositories for open ldap , postgres and qpid.
If for initial testing you are setting up an "sa" ( standalone) installation without analytics you would not require yum. ( If we use analytics all dependencies for analytics(postgres and qpid ) are installed via yum)
I'm a new user of Amazon EC2.
I want to compile the pptpd package on EC2, but receive the following error:
[root#ip-10-112-xxx-xxx /]# /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2eILT0: line 58: /usr/bin/make: No such file or directory
I searched the entire root directory tree, but make isn't available:
[root#ip-10-112-59-187 /]# find . -name "make"
./etc/mail/make
I'm wondering whether make is actually installed on the Amazon Linux AMI initially? If not, how do I install it?
Preface
The Amazon Linux AMI is (loosely) based on CentOS and a perfectly decent OS for EC2, in fact it has been tailored by Amazon for EC2 specifically:
The Amazon Linux AMI is a supported and maintained Linux image
provided by Amazon Web Services for use on Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (Amazon EC2). It is designed to provide a stable, secure, and
high performance execution environment for applications running on
Amazon EC2. It also includes packages that enable easy integration
with AWS, [...]. Amazon Web Services provides ongoing security and
maintenance updates to all instances running the Amazon Linux AMI. [...] [emphasis mine]
However, it is indeed not as widely used yet as some other distributions, with the most popular likely being Ubuntu due to its popularity in general and its dedicated long time tailored support of EC2 in particular (see e.g. the EC2StartersGuide, the Ubuntu Cloud Images or the convenient listing of the Ubuntu AMIs for Amazon EC2 on alestic). This yields two drawbacks:
You'll find much more examples/tutorials/etc. for EC2 based on Ubuntu, making things easier eventually.
You'll find slightly less precompiled packages available for CentOS, requiring compiling your own eventually (but see below).
Solution
That said, CentOS (and the Amazon Linux AMI in turn) uses the Yum package manager to install and update packages from CentOS (and 3rd party) Repositories (Debian/Ubuntu use the APT package manager instead - the inherent concepts are very similar though), see e.g. section Adding Packages in Amazon Linux AMI Basics:
In addition to the packages included in the Amazon Linux AMI, Amazon
provides a yum repository consisting of common Linux applications for
use inside of Amazon EC2. The Amazon Linux AMI is configured to point
to this repository by default for all yum actions. The packages can be
installed by issuing yum commands. For example:
# sudo yum install httpd
Accordingly, you can install make via yum install make (you can get a listing of all readily available packages via yum list all).
Be advised though, that you might actually not need to do that, insofar the Amazon Linux AMI has been built to be binary-compatible with the CentOS series of releases, and therefore packages built to run on CentOS should also run on the Amazon Linux AMI. [emphasis mine]
The desired package pptpd is not part of the standard repositories on CentOS either though, but it is available in the 3rd party Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository (see Letter P) - I can't comment on the viability of using this one vs. compiling your own though.
Good luck!
Make is not installed by default on Amazon Linux AMIs. However, you can install it quite easily with yum. If you choose to only install make, you might get some errors later for other packages in the compilation process. If you are going to compile software, you might want to just install all of the development tools at once.
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
