I’m trying to use AWS Cloud 9 for development, however it forces you to use Amazon Linux, instead of my familiar Ubuntu.

The major limitation is the lack of available packages.

Is it possible to add the main CentOS or redhat repos in order to install a normal universe of packages?

No. Amazon Linux is its own thing, a fork that looks significantly different than modern Red Hat/CentOS. What Linux distribution is the Amazon Linux AMI based on?

Worth a shot to try to install if the only RPM available is an EL one. But you probably will have to compile and package things yourself.
