Best practices for resource naming in Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ

Although RabbitMQ permits arbitrary UTF-8 characters in vhost names, queue names, exchange names, and policy names, Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ recommends using a standard character set.

Naming conventions

We recommend following supported characters for vhost names, queue names, exchange names, and policy names:

  • Letters (A–Z, a–z)

  • Numbers (0–9)

  • Hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), colons (:), and forward slashes (/)

Important

Using other special characters in vhost names, queue names, exchange names, or policy names may prevent Amazon MQ from performing certain broker maintenance operations.
