I was told we recently created a new Amazon Linux instance with the latest and greatest (Version 2017.3–01) . I'm trying to find out if it is based on CentOS 7 (because that is the only version that supports installation of Google Chrome). I have run

[davea@mymachine ~]$ uname -a
Linux mymachine 4.9.32-15.41.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 22 06:20:54 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

but I still can't tell what version of CentOS my Amazon Linux distro is based on.
