Use AMS Self-Service Provisioning (SSP) mode to access Amazon MQ capabilities directly in your AMS managed account. Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that helps you to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. Message brokers allow different software systems, often using different programming languages and on different platforms, to communicate and exchange information. Amazon MQ reduces your operational load by managing the provisioning, setup, and maintenance of ActiveMQ, a popular open-source message broker. Connecting your current applications to Amazon MQ uses industry standard APIs and protocols for messaging, including JMS, NMS, AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket. Using standards means that, in most cases, there’s no need to rewrite any messaging code when you migrate to AWS. To learn more, see What Is Amazon MQ?
