Im using AWS::CloudFormation::Init to deploy services and packages within a AWS EC2-Instance. By default, Cloud Formation ist using AWS's repository which installs old versions like PHP 5.4.16 in my case. I told cfn-init to install remi and epel repositories but it seams I have to tell yum the same. In a bash I would do this like:

sudo yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php71 install httpd php php-common

Sure, I could do the same in the UserData section as well but want to avoid as long as there's no way in configSets possible.

"install_apache2": {
"packages": 
 "rpm":
 "remi" : "http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm",
 "epel" : "https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm"
 ,
 "yum": 
 "php": ,
 "php-mysql": ,
 "php-mcrypt": ,
 "php-gd": ,
 "php-pear": ,
 "httpd": ,
 "nano": ,
 "git": 
 
,

here ist a short cut from my cfn-init-cmd.log:
