ActiveMQ brokers should use active/standby deployment mode
NIST 800-53
Description
Ensures Amazon MQ ActiveMQ brokers use active/standby deployment mode for high availability. This configuration places two broker instances across two Availability Zones in a redundant pair, reducing downtime and data loss in the event of a failure.
Remediation
To remediate ActiveMQ brokers not using active/standby deployment mode, you need to modify the broker to use active/standby deployment mode.
Steps
- Navigate to the Amazon MQ console
- Select the ActiveMQ broker that needs remediation
- Click on 'Edit' or 'Modify' broker
- Go to 'Configuration' settings
- Change 'Deployment mode' to 'Active/Standby'
- Select two different Availability Zones
- Configure the standby broker settings
- Review the high availability configuration
- Apply the changes to the broker
- Verify active/standby mode is working
