mod_ssl vs mod24_ssl AWS

Going through the motions to get TLS up and running for my website. I read under the AWS documentation to

sudo yum install -y mod24_ssl

but was getting a conflict on some dependencies.

I ended up reading a blog where someone mentioned sudo yum install mod_ssl and I ended up running that without any issues. Can someone let me know if this safe? What's the difference between mod_ssl and mod24_ssl?

Thanks
