Amazon MQ now supports in-place major version upgrades for RabbitMQ 4
News
This article announces that Amazon MQ now supports in-place major version upgrades for RabbitMQ brokers, allowing direct upgrades from RabbitMQ 3.13 to 4.2.
- Upgrade directly from AWS console, CLI, or API without creating new brokers
- In-place upgrades preserve broker configuration, queues, exchanges, bindings, users, and policies
- Brokers must run on M7G (Graviton) instances and have no classic mirrored queues
- RabbitMQ 4.2 removes classic mirrored queues and migrates to Khepri metadata store
- Queue migration tool available to convert classic mirrored queues to quorum queues
- Broker unavailable during upgrade process
- Automatic patch version management for RabbitMQ 4.2 brokers
Amazon MQ simplifies RabbitMQ upgrades with in-place major version support, eliminating migration complexity while preserving existing configurations.
