Amazon announced today a service called Amazon MQ that allows ActiveMQ 5.x to be run as a managed service in AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-mq-managed-message-broker-service-for-activemq/
Was anyone on this list aware of that effort prior to this announcement? We should all be aware that there may be additional users coming to ActiveMQ as a result of this service, who may have minimal experience with the configuration details of the broker and limited access to detailed troubleshooting information such as logs and JMX. This may complicate or delay the eventual sunsetting of 5.x in favor of Artemis; there may be interest in keeping 5.x alive for longer as a result of its use in this service. Tim
