Apache ActiveMQ Artemis preinstalled for AWS. The high performance open source multi protocol message broker on OpenJDK 21 and Ubuntu 24.04, with the Hawtio web console on port 80 and a per instance admin password generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Apache ActiveMQ Artemis by cloudimg
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis is the next generation high performance message broker from the Apache ActiveMQ project. It implements JMS 2.0 / Jakarta Messaging and speaks AMQP, MQTT, STOMP and OpenWire on the wire. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Artemis fully installed with a ready to use broker instance, so a production grade broker is running within minutes of launch. The release available is Artemis 2.44.0.
## Application Stack
The image runs Artemis on the OpenJDK 21 headless runtime. The broker instance, message journal and paging store live on their own resizable data volume. The broker runs as an unprivileged service user under systemd, and an nginx reverse proxy publishes the Hawtio web management console on port 80.
## Multi Protocol Messaging
A multiplexed acceptor on port 61616 handles the CORE, OpenWire, AMQP, STOMP and MQTT protocols, with dedicated listeners for AMQP on 5672, MQTT on 1883 and STOMP on 61613. Point your JMS, AMQP, MQTT or STOMP clients at the broker and start exchanging messages.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh broker administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root only file. The broker requires login by default and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Hawtio web management console is served on port 80. Sign in with the generated credentials to inspect addresses, queues and topics, browse and send messages, and monitor broker health.
