Amazon MQ Updates

Amazon MQ now supports HTTP-based authentication and authorization for RabbitMQ brokers running version 4.2 and above. This feature allows brokers to authenticate and authorize users by making requests to an HTTP server.

To enable this feature, create a new broker with RabbitMQ 4.2 using the m7g instance type through the AWS Management console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Then, edit the associated configuration file.

What to do

• Create a new RabbitMQ 4.2 broker using the m7g instance type.
• Edit the configuration file to enable HTTP-based authentication and authorization.
