Configuring Public Access

Scenario

Enable public access to a RabbitMQ instance so that you can access the instance over a public network. If you no longer need public access to the instance, you can disable it as required.

  • You can enable public access to a RabbitMQ instance only if its status is Running.
  • In comparison with intra-VPC access, packet loss and jitter may occur and the access delay increases during public access. Therefore, you are advised to enable public access to RabbitMQ instances only during the service development and testing phase.
  • After enabling public access, configure the following settings:
    • If SSL has been disabled:

      Add an inbound rule to the security group, allowing access to ports 5672 and 15672.

      To access the RabbitMQ management plane, visit http://{public IP address of the RabbitMQ instance}:15672, and enter your username and password.

      To access the instance through clients, use port 5672.

    • If SSL has been enabled:

      Add an inbound rule to the security group, allowing access to ports 5671 and 15671.

      To access the RabbitMQ management plane, visit https://{public IP address of the RabbitMQ instance}:15671, and enter your username and password.

      To access the instance through clients, use port 5671.
