Make Amazon Linux 2 handle PHP7.4 & 8.0 with amazon-linux-extras

[NapoSky]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 6.15.3-1.el7
• Ruby: 2.0.0.648-36.el7
• Distribution: Amazion Linux release 2 (Karoo)
• Module version: latest (f89846c)

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

class profile::php::fpm_web (
  String $php_version = '7.4'
) {
 class { '::php::globals':
   php_version => $php_version
 }

 class { '::php':
   ensure       => latest,
   manage_repos => true,
   fpm          => true,
   dev          => true,
   composer     => true,
   pear         => true,
   phpunit      => false,
 }
}

What are you seeing

Based on actual code, Amazon Linux 2 is handled by Redhat repositories (RAMI). When I want PHP7.4, rami repos are installed, PHP5.6 is installed instead of 7.4. PHP7.4 packages are not present in yum list.

What behaviour did you expect instead

Use amazon-linux-extras official repositories to handle PHP7.4 and PHP8.0.

Output log

PHP 5.6.40 (cli) (built: Sep 29 2020 11:19:06)

Any additional information you'd like to impart

It's a pity to use a custom repository when Amazon Linux 2 provide official ones which are maintained and operational. It could be great to use it in this case.
