Yep. Keep in mind that there are AMIs for numerous distros:

https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/b/2649367011/ref=gtw_navlft_node_2649367011?page=1&category=2649367011

You happened to try an AMI with the Amazon Linux distro first, for which
Puppet Labs doesn't provide packages currently. But if you choose an AMI
for one of the distros we *do* have packages for, it should indeed Just
Work. I do it all the time. (And yes, CentOS would fit the bill.)

Hope this helps!
