Pre-configured RabbitMQ® message broker on Windows Server 2022 with Erlang, management console, and auto-start service. Launch and publish messages via AMQP, MQTT, or STOMP in minutes.
This RabbitMQ® AMI delivers a fully pre-configured RabbitMQ message broker on Windows Server 2022, purpose-built for teams that need a Windows-native messaging solution on AWS. The Erlang runtime, RabbitMQ broker, and web-based management console are already installed and configured, with the RabbitMQ Windows service set to start automatically on boot. Launch an EC2 instance and begin publishing and consuming messages within minutes - no manual installation or dependency troubleshooting required.
Why Choose This RabbitMQ AMI?
Unlike a manual RabbitMQ installation on Windows, this AMI eliminates the complexity of matching compatible Erlang and RabbitMQ versions, configuring Windows services, and enabling the management plugin. Self-hosting gives you full control over your broker configuration, plugin selection, version pinning, and data residency. Your messages and configuration remain entirely within your own AWS account and VPC.
For organizations running Windows-centric workloads - particularly .NET application stacks, legacy Windows services, or hybrid on-premises-to-cloud migrations - this AMI provides a familiar operating environment without requiring Linux expertise on your operations team.
RabbitMQ Key Features
Multi-protocol messaging - Supports AMQP 0-9-1, MQTT, STOMP, and WebSockets out of the box, letting you match the right protocol to each workload.
Flexible routing - Direct, topic, fanout, and headers exchanges give you fine-grained control over message distribution.
Durable and resilient queues - Persistent queues and quorum queues ensure messages survive broker restarts and node failures.
Streams - High-throughput, replayable messaging for event-sourcing and log-style workloads.
Clustering and federation - Scale horizontally across multiple nodes, availability zones, or regions for high availability and geographic distribution.
Security - TLS encryption for data in transit and LDAP authentication for centralized access control.
Management and monitoring - Web-based UI on port 15672, HTTP API, and command-line tools for full operational visibility.
Cross-language support - Client libraries available for .NET, Java, Python, Go, Ruby, JavaScript, and more.
Windows service auto-start - The broker starts automatically on instance boot with no manual intervention.
Rabbit MQ Common Use Cases
Microservices decoupling - An e-commerce platform uses RabbitMQ to queue order-processing events during flash sales, buffering thousands of messages per second so downstream inventory and payment services process at their own pace without data loss.
Background job processing - Distribute compute-intensive tasks such as report generation, image processing, or data imports across a pool of worker instances, with RabbitMQ ensuring each job is delivered exactly once.
Event-driven architectures - Publish domain events (user signups, transactions, IoT telemetry) to topic exchanges and let multiple consumers react independently, enabling loosely coupled systems that scale and evolve separately.
Cross-language integration - Connect .NET services with Python analytics pipelines or Java microservices through a shared messaging layer, regardless of language or runtime differences.
What Is Included

Getting Started
Launch this AMI on your chosen EC2 instance type, ensure your security group allows inbound access on ports 5672 (AMQP), 15672 (management UI), and any additional protocol ports you need (1883 for MQTT, 61613 for STOMP). Access the management console in your browser and begin configuring exchanges, queues, and bindings. Follow our getting started guide below under vendor resources.

Highlights
Pre-configured Windows-native deployment - This AMI ships with the Erlang runtime, RabbitMQ broker, and web-based management console already installed and tested on Windows Server 2022. The RabbitMQ Windows service starts automatically on boot, eliminating manual installation, dependency resolution, and service configuration. Launch an EC2 instance and access your management console within minutes - no Linux expertise required.
Multi-protocol versatility with full operational control - Publish and consume messages over AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, and WebSockets from a single broker. You retain complete control over broker configuration, plugin selection, version pinning, and data residency. Your messages stay entirely within your own AWS account and VPC, supporting data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
Built to scale from development to production - Deploy a single node for development or form clusters across multiple availability zones for high availability. Quorum queues ensure data safety during node failures, streams support high-throughput replayable workloads, and federation enables geographically distributed messaging across AWS regions. TLS encryption and LDAP authentication secure your deployment at every tier.

You pay by the hour for RabbitMQ message broker running on Windows Server 2022. Pricing is usage-based, so you are billed only for the hours each instance runs. The many options here are AWS EC2 instance types, not feature tiers. Each name reflects a hardware configuration, differing by CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. Smaller instances like t3.nano suit light workloads, while larger ones like x1e.32xlarge or metal instances handle heavy messaging demands. Your hourly rate scales with the instance size you select. Software features stay the same across all instances; only the underlying compute capacity changes.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what am I actually paying for per instance?
One unit is one running EC2 instance for one hour, carrying the RabbitMQ software on Windows Server 2022. The instance type you pick sets the CPU, memory, storage, and network capacity. You pay for each hour that instance runs, on top of any underlying AWS infrastructure charges.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software rate meters running time only. When you stop an instance, software charges stop accruing. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the RabbitMQ software licence bills only the hours the instance actually runs.
Do larger instance types unlock extra RabbitMQ features, or just more capacity?
Only capacity changes. The RabbitMQ software and its features stay the same across every instance type. It supports AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, HTTP, and WebSockets, plus clustering and multiple languages. Larger instances give more CPU, memory, storage, and network room to handle heavier messaging loads.
