You can now launch RabbitMQ 3.8.22 brokers on Amazon MQ. This release includes a fix for an issue with queues using per-message TTL (time to live), identified in the previously supported version, RabbitMQ 3.8.17, and we recommend upgrading to RabbitMQ 3.8.22.

Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ that makes it easier to set up and operate message brokers on AWS. Amazon MQ reduces your operational responsibilities by managing the provisioning, setup, and maintenance of message brokers for you. Because Amazon MQ connects to your current applications with industry-standard APIs and protocols, you can more easily migrate to AWS without having to rewrite code.

You can upgrade RabbitMQ with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console. If your broker has automatic minor version upgrade enabled, AWS automatically upgrades the broker to version 3.8.22 during the prescribed maintenance window. To learn more about upgrading, please see: Managing Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ engine versions in the Amazon MQ Developer Guide.

RabbitMQ 3.8.22 includes the fixes and features of all previous releases of RabbitMQ. To learn more, read the RabbitMQ Changelog.
