Amazon MQ is Now Available in the Canada (Central) Region

Posted on: Jun 12, 2019

Amazon MQ is now available in 12 regions with the addition of the Canada (Central) region.  

Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it easy 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.  

With Amazon MQ, you can use industry standard APIs and protocols for messaging, including JMS, NMS, AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and WebSocket. You can easily move from any message broker that uses these standards to Amazon MQ because you don’t have to rewrite any messaging code in your applications.  

For more information, please visit the Amazon MQ product page, and see the AWS Region Table for complete regional availability.
