RabbitMQ on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

What's included

• RabbitMQ 4.0 with the management UI enabled
• AMQP 0-9-1 plus plugin support for MQTT and STOMP
• Unique per-VM admin password generated at first boot
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with automatic security updates
• Trusted Launch: Secure Boot + vTPM supported
• Clustering-ready for HA when you grow beyond one node

Quick start

1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 15672 (management UI) to your IP; 5672 (AMQP) to your application subnets — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
3. Open the management UI at http://<VM-IP>:15672/ and sign in with the generated user (see First login below).
4. Create your vhosts, users, and queues; point AMQP clients at port 5672 over your VNet.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /opt/rabbitmq/admin-password

The management user is per-VM (dcaadmin-xxxxxxxx), not `admin`; both lines are in the file.
