The Percona yum repository supports popular RPM-based operating systems, including the Amazon Linux AMI.
The easiest way to install the Percona Yum repository is to install an RPM that configures yum and installs the Percona GPG key. You can also do the installation manually.
Execute the following command as a root user:
$ yum install http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-3/percona-release-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
You should see some output such as the following:

Make sure packages are downloaded from the repository, by executing the following command as root:
yum list | grep percona
You should see output similar to the following:
percona-release.x86_64 0.0-1 installed
...
Percona-Server-client-51.x86_64 5.1.47-rel11.1.51.rhel5 percona

The CentOS repositories should work well with Red Hat Enterprise Linux too, provided that yum is installed on the server.
Percona offers pre-release builds from the testing repository. To subscribe to the testing repository, you’ll need to enable the testing repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/percona-release.repo. NOTE: You’ll need to install the Percona repository first if this hasn’t been done already.
