Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it

easy to migrate to a message broker in the cloud. A message broker allows software

applications and components to communicate using various programming languages,

operating systems, and formal messaging protocols.

Benefits:

 Security –create and modify brokers and who can send messages to and

receive messages from an ActiveMQ broker. Amazon MQ encrypts messages at rest

and in transit using encryption keys that it manages and stores securely.

 Durability – To ensure the safety of your messages, Amazon MQ stores them

on redundant shared storage.

 Availability – You can create a single-instance broker (comprised of one broker

in one Availability Zone), or an active/standby broker for high availability (comprised of

two brokers in two different Availability Zones). For either broker type, Amazon MQ

automatically provisions infrastructure for high durability.

 Compatibility – Amazon MQ supports industry-standard APIs and protocols so

you can migrate from your existing message broker without rewriting application

code.

 Operation offloading – You can configure many aspects of your ActiveMQ

broker, such as predefined destinations, destination policies, authorization policies, and

plugins. Amazon MQ controls some of these configuration elements, such as network

transports and storage, simplifying the maintenance and administration of your

messaging system in the cloud.
