/etc/services file accidentally deleted on Amazon Linux EC2 instance

Question

I accidentally deleted /etc/services file from my ec2 instance on AWS running Amazon Linux.

How can I restore this file?
In Ubuntu, I found out that this can be done using netbase package, how can this be achieved in Amazon Linux(centOS flavor) ?

find rpm name - `rpm -qf /etc/services` in my case its `setup-2.8.71-7.amzn2.noarch` then please go through - https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/setup-2.8.71-9.el7.noarch.rpm.html — sanjayparmar, Sep 07 '18 at 05:48

You can just copy the file from another instance, or because it is part of the setup package, you can run:

yum reinstall setup
