AWS::AmazonMQ::Broker

A broker is a message broker environment running on Amazon MQ. It is the basic building block of Amazon MQ.

The AWS::AmazonMQ::Broker resource lets you create Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ and Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers, add configuration changes or modify users for a speified ActiveMQ broker, return information about the specified broker, and delete the broker. For more information, see How Amazon MQ works in the Amazon MQ Developer Guide.

ec2:CreateNetworkInterface

This permission is required to allow Amazon MQ to create an elastic network interface (ENI) on behalf of your account.
ec2:CreateNetworkInterfacePermission

This permission is required to attach the ENI to the broker instance.

Properties

AuthenticationStrategy

Optional. The authentication strategy used to secure the broker. The default is SIMPLE.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

AutoMinorVersionUpgrade

Enables automatic upgrades to new minor versions for brokers, as new broker engine versions are released and supported by Amazon MQ. Automatic upgrades occur during the scheduled maintenance window of the broker or after a manual broker reboot.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

BrokerName

The name of the broker. This value must be unique in your AWS account, 1-50 characters long, must contain only letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores, and must not contain white spaces, brackets, wildcard characters, or special characters.

Important

Do not add personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information in broker names. Broker names are accessible to other AWS services, including CCloudWatch Logs. Broker names are not intended to be used for private or sensitive data.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Configuration

A list of information about the configuration. Does not apply to RabbitMQ brokers.

Required: No

Type: ConfigurationId

Update requires: Some interruptions

DataReplicationMode

Defines whether this broker is a part of a data replication pair.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

DataReplicationPrimaryBrokerArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the primary broker that is used to replicate data from in a data replication pair, and is applied to the replica broker. Must be set when dataReplicationMode is set to CRDR.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

DeploymentMode

The deployment mode of the broker. Available values:

SINGLE_INSTANCE
ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZ
CLUSTER_MULTI_AZ

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

EncryptionOptions

Encryption options for the broker. Does not apply to RabbitMQ brokers.

Required: No

Type: EncryptionOptions

Update requires: Replacement

EngineType

The type of broker engine. Currently, Amazon MQ supports ACTIVEMQ and RABBITMQ.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

EngineVersion

The version of the broker engine. For a list of supported engine versions, see Engine in the Amazon MQ Developer Guide.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

HostInstanceType

The broker's instance type.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Some interruptions

LdapServerMetadata

Optional. The metadata of the LDAP server used to authenticate and authorize connections to the broker. Does not apply to RabbitMQ brokers.

Required: No

Type: LdapServerMetadata

Update requires: No interruption

Logs

Enables Amazon CloudWatch logging for brokers.

Required: No

Type: LogList

Update requires: No interruption

MaintenanceWindowStartTime

The scheduled time period relative to UTC during which Amazon MQ begins to apply pending updates or patches to the broker.

Required: No

Type: MaintenanceWindow

Update requires: No interruption

PubliclyAccessible

Enables connections from applications outside of the VPC that hosts the broker's subnets.

Required: Yes

Type: Boolean

Update requires: Replacement

SecurityGroups

The list of rules (1 minimum, 125 maximum) that authorize connections to brokers.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: No interruption

StorageType

The broker's storage type.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

SubnetIds

The list of groups that define which subnets and IP ranges the broker can use from different Availability Zones. If you specify more than one subnet, the subnets must be in different Availability Zones. Amazon MQ will not be able to create VPC endpoints for your broker with multiple subnets in the same Availability Zone. A SINGLE_INSTANCE deployment requires one subnet (for example, the default subnet). An ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZ deployment (ACTIVEMQ) requires two subnets. A CLUSTER_MULTI_AZ deployment (RABBITMQ) has no subnet requirements when deployed with public accessibility, deployment without public accessibility requires at least one subnet.

Important

If you specify subnets in a shared VPC for a RabbitMQ broker, the associated VPC to which the specified subnets belong must be owned by your AWS account. Amazon MQ will not be able to create VPC enpoints in VPCs that are not owned by your AWS account.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Update requires: Replacement

Tags

An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

Required: No

Type: Array of TagsEntry

Update requires: No interruption

Users

The list of broker users (persons or applications) who can access queues and topics. For Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers, one and only one administrative user is accepted and created when a broker is first provisioned. All subsequent RabbitMQ users are created by via the RabbitMQ web console or by using the RabbitMQ management API.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of User

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the Amazon MQ broker ID. For example:

b-1234a5b6-78cd-901e-2fgh-3i45j6k178l9

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Complex Amazon MQ Broker

The following example creates a complex Amazon MQ broker. The ActiveMQ example creates a broker with two users that don't belong to a group and one user that belongs in a group. The RabbitMQ example creates one administrator user, which can then create and manage other users via the RabbitMQ web console or the management API.
