如何在Amazon Linux AMI上安装特定版本的Docker

Question

As the Docker team advances with new features frequently, the Amazon Linux AMI repo (amzn-updates) Docker package is not always up to date, hence some latest features are not immediately available (eg when installing Docker with sudo yum install -y docker ).

How can I install an specific version of Docker on Amazon Linux AMI? Are there pros/cons if Installing it with amazon package manager vs manually?

Thanks in advance.
