Curator support got better in the AWS ES 5.3 release a few weeks ago: https://github.com/elastic/curator/releases/tag/v5.1.0

You still can't use Curator to take snapshots, because AWS ES doesn't expose the `/_snapshot/_status` endpoint.

If you are stuck on 5.1.2, the Talend fork of curator works.

The change is trivial, so I get the sense that Elastic is just fucking with Amazon.
