Chapter 1. Overview

You can deploy and manage AMQ Interconnect in OpenShift Container Platform, which enables you to build a scalable messaging network in a hybrid cloud environment.

In this solution, AMQ Interconnect is deployed as a message router running in an OpenShift pod. You can scale up the deployment to add routers, which automatically connect to each other in a router mesh topology. You can use the standard OpenShift methods to manage the pods and deploy new versions.

AMQ Interconnect is a lightweight AMQP message router for building scalable, available, and performant messaging networks. It is based on Dispatch Router from the Apache Qpid™ project.
