      mongo depends on systemd for installing and running. Systemd is not available on amazon linux 1 so it does not work.

      Copied from slack
      we depend on systemd for running mongod as a deamon. systemd is not available on amazon linux 1. My suggestion is we drop support for amazon linux 1 on mongo 4.2, 4.4 and 5 (which is where we support it) since it is close to EoL. https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/

      The other option is we figure out how to make it work. I have no idea what this will entail. But like anything where there is a will there is a way.

      The current state: it has been broken since possibly forever and I have not heard about people having issues with it. The only reason I discovered it was because i was working on fixing a similar problem for amazon linux 2 which DOES have systemd.

      Update:
      This ticket is requesting that stop publishing the rpm for AL1 and remove all tests for AL1.
