Amazon MQ

Managed Apache ActiveMQ
💡 For lift & shift migrations:
- Traditional applications running from on-premises may use open protocols such as MQTT, AMQP, STOMP
- Instead of re-engineering the application to use SQS and SNS, we can use Amazon MQ
It supports MQTT, AMQP, STOMP, Openwire, WSS, NMS, and WebSocket protocols
Amazon MQ doesn't scale as much as SQS / SNS
- Have to provision it
- Broker's are deployed into e.g. mq.m5-xlarge, mq.t2.micro etc.
Amazon MQ runs on a dedicated machine, can run in HA with failover
Supports
- Both queue feature (SQS) and topic features (SNS)
- Both pull (SQS, Kinesis) and push based (SNS) messaging.
Broker types
- Single-instance broker: In single AZ
- Active/standby broker: In two AZ's with automatic failover
Network and security:
- You deploy into VPC and subnet(s)
  - You need to allow access from security groups to reach the protocols
- You can make it publicly accessible outside VPC
You can set maintenance window and allow minor version updates.
