Installation instructions dont work for Amazon Linux 2 for docker ce #670
Description
I created an EC2 instance with an Amazon Linux 2 AMI on a r5.metal instance since I dont have a box lying around with kvm and VT-x virt lying around.
I was looking at the instructions for installing the pre reqs here.
https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite/blob/master/docs/installation.md
Now there are no instructions for installing ignite on Amazon Linux (or RHEL for that matter) so I tried the centos one, since that is the closest.
On top of messing up the instructions with sudo, I ran
which containerd || ( yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo && yum install -y containerd.io )
I got the error on the last command
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-10-187 ~]$ sudo yum install -y containerd.io

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Now I could go and start hunting for how to install containerd in AL2, but I expect a company like weaveworks to have a more elaborate set of instructions for installation, including reliable reproducible ways to install even the pre reqs.
