When I try to run sudo yum install openvpn on an Amazon Linux 2 instance that I just created, I receive the message
No package openvpn available
Do I need to add a package repository? I don't find mention of needing to do so anywhere.

Its in epel. To install it on AL2:
# setup epel
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
# and

@explorer Maybe you tried that on Amazon Linux 1, not 2? – Marcin Aug 06 '21 at 04:09
