Last time I checked, this looked unlikely. The problem is that EPEL7 packages are built agains RHEL7. While it is possible to install some packages from EPEL, ones that end up depending on the packages that were not imported or not updated in AMZN2 will have unmet dependencies.

Snapd can be built without SELinux (builds like this on Amazon Linux 2 by default), however we cannot upload non-SELinux package to EPEL7, as this repository is also consumed by CentOS users.

I think that the most reasonable solution is to have snapd in Amazon Linux 2 repositories.
