2.1. Comparison: Red Hat JBoss A-MQ and A-MQ for OpenShift Image

This topic details the differences between the regular release of JBoss A-MQ and the A-MQ for OpenShift image, and provides instructions specific to running and configuring the A-MQ for OpenShift image. Documentation for other JBoss A-MQ functionality not specific to the A-MQ for OpenShift image can be found in the Red Hat JBoss A-MQ documentation on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Differences between the regular release of JBoss A-MQ and the A-MQ for OpenShift image:

  • The Karaf shell is not available.
  • The Fuse Management Console (Hawtio) is not available.
  • To connect to the A-MQ web console, click the Connect button in the A-MQ pod of the OpenShift web console, or the Open Java Console button in OpenShift Container Platform.
  • Configuration of the broker can be performed:

  • Clients for the A-MQ xPaaS image need to specify the OpenShift API port (443) when setting the broker URL for SSL connections. Otherwise, A-MQ will attempt to use the default SSL port (61617).
