I have seen existing build (Sept 18th) worked fine with the same code, have not changed anything from my end, anything need to be updated or added ? Let me know if you need more info.

You’ll also need to pull in the SCL repositories. yum -y install foreman-release-scl works on CentOS after enabling the Foreman repository.

Do note that 1.19 is End Of Life and 1.22 is the minimum supported version now though I’d recommend the latest stable (1.23).

Ok, I will give a try on new instance, however when I am trying the same on existing instance it says - already exists.

Ok, I tried building AMI freshly and got the same problem:
