I tried installing and I am seeing the error
Error: Package: mysql-community-server-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64 (mysql57-community)
Requires: systemd
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I also removed all previous installations. How can I fix this?

If you are using mysql/Oracle repos you should select
Linux-generic
in the Download MySQL Community Server page for AMI boxes and not RedHat/Fedora packages.Last time I checked AMI does not run
systemd
hence the error. While in past you could somewhat get away with installing RH packages in AMI Linux, nowadays with the convergence of Linux versions tosystemd
it is ever more difficult to install foreign packages in distributions which do not supportsystemd
.File also a bug/request with Oracle for AMI rpm packages, please.
Check also what versions can you find in AMI repositories, just in case.
