It seems NVM requires glibc 2.27 or 2.28.
Amazon Linux only supports glibc 2.26 at the moment: https://repost.aws/questions/QUrXOioL46RcCnFGyELJWKLw/glibc-2-27-on-amazon-linux-2
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Amazon Linux by running `nvm install node` and compare the available glibc version with the requirements of Node v19.1.0. Determine the supported installation path or compatibility change, then verify that Node installs and runs successfully on the reported Amazon Linux environment.
