Introducing Private Networking for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ

This article introduces Private Networking for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ, allowing brokers to establish outbound connections to private resources without public exposure.

• Connect brokers to private identity providers, self-hosted RabbitMQ, or other Amazon MQ brokers securely
• Uses Amazon VPC Lattice, AWS RAM, and AWS PrivateLink for private connectivity
• Supports cross-Region and cross-account connections via AWS Transit Gateway or VPC peering
• Eliminates need to expose private LDAP servers or use workarounds like Network Load Balancers
• RabbitMQ 4 requires specifying destination broker endpoint as custom domain for TLS peer verification
• Setup involves creating VPC Lattice resource gateway, resource configuration, and associating via RAM resource share
• Pricing includes $0.01 per GB data processing through resource endpoint plus VPC Lattice and PrivateLink charges

Private Networking enables secure hybrid cloud architectures and federation patterns for RabbitMQ messaging without public endpoints.
