Enabling RabbitMQ Plug-ins

After creating a RabbitMQ instance, you can enable add-ons through plug-ins. The plug-ins are disabled by default when the instance is created.

RabbitMQ plug-ins can be used for testing and service migration. Do not use them for production. Reliability issues caused from using plug-ins are not within commitments on SLAs. For details, see Service Overview > Notes and Constraints.
