Amazon MQ supports RabbitMQ 4 in-place major version upgrades
Action Required
Teams using Amazon MQ with RabbitMQ 3.13 will be able to upgrade to RabbitMQ 4.2 without data migration, but must address breaking changes and migrate classic mirrored queues to avoid service interruptions.
AI Impact Summary
Amazon MQ is introducing in-place major version upgrades for RabbitMQ brokers, simplifying the upgrade process from RabbitMQ 3.13 to 4.2. This eliminates the need for data migration or new broker creation, but requires careful consideration due to breaking changes like the removal of classic mirrored queues and the migration to the Khepri metadata store. Teams utilizing classic mirrored queues must leverage the provided migration tool before upgrading to avoid service disruption.
