As per influxdata/influxdb#5035, Amazon Linux
sets the yum $releasever variable to "latest", which means that standard
RedHat repo configuration won't work. The suggested workaround in the
issue above is to hardcode the release version to 6 on Amazon Linux.
There is an open issue with Telegraf to fix packaging for Amazon Linux
(among others): influxdata/influxdb#6454.
However, given that it's been open over two years now, I'm not holding
my breath.
