This is also described in the AWS ECS documentation but installs an outdated Docker.

@NishaKuppuswamy , @klausbadelt Docker version is dependent on Amazon RHEL Linux OS version as the yum packages are taken from amazon's repository. Please consider upgrading OS from 2016 to 2017 or latest.

List of supported docker version in the following link.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-ami-versions.html

After booting Amazon Linux 2017.09 machine just do

yum install docker -y

good to go !!

you could try yum repolist all command see from where the packages are taken from.

If you're running Amazon linux 2, just type # amazon-linux-extras install docker
