Setting up Amazon MQ
Before you can use Amazon MQ, you must complete the following steps.
Sign up for an AWS account
To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.
Get ready to use the example codes
The following tutorials show how you can work with Amazon MQ brokers
using the AWS Management Console as well as how to connect to your Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ and Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ brokers programatically. To use the ActiveMQ Java example code, you must install the
Java Standard Edition Development Kit
You can also create and manage brokers programmatically using Amazon MQ REST API and AWS SDKs.
Next steps
Now that you're prepared to work with Amazon MQ, get started by creating a broker. Depending on your broker engine type, you can then connect a Java application to your Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ broker or use the RabbitMQ Java client library to connect a JVM-based application to your Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ broker.
