In Amazon linux 2023, EPEL is not available. All the documentations avaialble in internet is about EPEL and then install certbot. But here we need to use a different approach.

• Login to the server
• dnf install python3 augeas-libs
• dnf remove certbot
• python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/
• /opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
• /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot certbot-apache
• ln -s /opt/certbot/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
• certbot --apache

This works perfectly for me. 🙋🙋

Here is the video tutorial. Have a look and install.
