Can anyone point me to instructions to upgrade my AWS Express Edition to 5.0.2 from 5.0.1?

The docker will support a “automated upgrade”. See the following links for details:

openemr/openemr-devops/blob/master/packages/lightsail/upgrade.md#upgrading-from-501-to-502

# OpenEMR Container-Based Upgrade

## Requirements

 * OpenEMR 5.0.0 or later, installed or launched via `docker-compose`. (Did you get here through the AWS Marketplace? You're in the right place.)
 * Up-to-the-minute backups. Full-instance volume snapshots, Duplicity backups, and (if appropriate) an RDS snapshot are the minimum acceptable.
 * Familiarity with how to restore those backups &mdash; do you know how to get your backups running on a clean OpenEMR instance? There is literally no better time to learn than right now, before you proceed.


## Upgrading from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2+

### Overview

To upgrade OpenEMR, you'll want to follow one steps:
 * Backup your system and upgrade your local container.

### Procedure

We detail here the steps involved in the `5.0.1` to `5.0.2+` upgrade process.

Definitely backup everything before you do this.

Thank you @brady.miller and can I add how much I appreciate the work you do.

I am a volunteer with the Australian Aid Program and I installed OpenEMR at a women’s health clinic in Indonesia in 2017. They use it every day and it now has nearly 6,000 patient records.

I’m now installing it at a clinic for children with a surgically correctable disability in Arusha, Tanzania and its will really improve systems here.

So, thanks again, amazing work you do!
