@Rudrabha your steps also work with AL2023, thanks!

@Rudrabha Amazon Linux 2 is EOL and should not be used.
@RichardTMiles "Amazon Linux 2 end of support date (End of Life, or EOL) has been extended by two years from 2023-06-30 to 2025-06-30 to provide customers with ample time to migrate to the next version."
