Trying to install curator on amazon linux ami using RHEL7 yum repo and it fails with below error.  
Can you please help me to install it. And is RHEL7 the right repo?

If there is no `openssl-libs` RPM for Amazon Linux AMI, then you'll have to install via `pip`. The pre-compiled RPMs depend on that RPM being installed.
