RabbitMQ Setup

The Pulumi RabbitMQ provider uses the RabbitMQ SDK to manage and provision resources.

Pulumi relies on the RabbitMQ SDK to authenticate requests from your computer to RabbitMQ. Your credentials are never sent to pulumi.com.

The Pulumi RabbitMQ Provider needs to be configured with RabbitMQ credentials before it can be used to create resources.

Configuring Credentials

Once obtained, there are two ways to communicate your authorization tokens to Pulumi:

  1. Set the environment variables RABBITMQ_ENDPOINT, RABBITMQ_USERNAME and RABBITMQ_PASSWORD:

    $ export RABBITMQ_ENDPOINT=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
$ export RABBITMQ_USERNAME=YYYYYYYYYYYYYY
$ export RABBITMQ_PASSWORD=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  2. Set them using configuration, if you prefer that they be stored alongside your Pulumi stack for easy multi-user access:

    $ pulumi config set rabbitmq:endpoint XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
$ pulumi config set rabbitmq:username YYYYYYYYYYYYYY --secret
$ pulumi config set rabbitmq:password ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ --secret

Remember to pass --secret when setting rabbitmq:username and rabbitmq:password so that they are properly encrypted. A full set of configuration parameters can be found listed on the Project README.
