unable to to install Varnish 6.0 on AmazonLinux - varnish

Question

I am trying to install varnish 6 image on amazon linux and ubuntu but unfortunately I am not getting successful.
I have followed both the script and manual methods at https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish60/install#bash-rpm without success. See below the output. I am getting similar output on Ubuntu as well

Answer 1

varnish 6.0 not support amazon linux
in [https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish60/install#bash-rpm][1] you could see in the install script
else
aws=`grep -q Amazon /etc/issue`
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then
dist='6'
os='aws'
else
unknown_os
fi
amazon linux set dist to 6
in varnish download page [https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish60lts?page=1][2] you can see that there is no el6
same occur if you search for el6 tag [https://packagecloud.io/app/varnishcache/varnish60/search?dist=el%2F6][3]
