Run:
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
You have to do this because epel-release package is directly available in CentOS base repository, but not in RHEL repository.
According to documentation, it is also recommended to enable some optional repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" --enable "rhel-ha-for-rhel-*-server-rpms"

Run the command below as http: (not https:):
yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
to avoid the error:
Cannot open: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

This seems like it should be a comment on Danila Vershinin's answer. – G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' Feb 08 '22 at 21:33

@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica' With such low reputation comment is not allowed for him, I think. – Mojtaba Rezaeian Oct 11 '22 at 21:58
