To me it looks like your repo structure doesn't match what the script populates based on /etc/os-release.

https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/repoconfig/amazonlinux/2023.4.20240401/x86_64/
should just be
https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/repoconfig/amazonlinux/2023/x86_64/

I have the same issue. I noticed that dnf/yum resolves $releasever to 2023.4.20240401.

$ dnf config-manager --dump-variables
arch = aarch64
basearch = aarch64
awsdomain = amazonaws.com
awsregion = eu-central-1
repoguid = ...
releasever = 2023.4.20240401

Now, we might just be able to override the variable like so: echo 2023 > /etc/dnf/vars/releasever. However, this is not a practical solution, since Amazon is using the more verbose release versioning for their repos.
