Research direction

Start with the Docker installation script and the linked Amazon Linux installation documentation. Trace how the script identifies supported distributions and installs Docker, then add Amazon Linux support for the amzn platform. Done means the script handles Amazon Linux without rejecting it and follows the documented installation path.
