I need to know basic difference between rabbitmq and "compose for rabbit" as a service in IBM cloud.
There is only one production-level RabbitMQ service in the IBM Cloud catalog: Compose for RabbitMQ.
The other service, rabbitmq, is an old, deprecated, experimental service that was part of Cloud Foundry. It should not be used and when you click it, it should redirect you to the Compose for RabbitMQ service.

My application has Jackrabbit Oak implementation, so it uses direct binary upload features through S3DataStore for storing files on AWS-S3. For AWS-S3 integration, we had created service broker instance on Cloud Foundry which was on our on-premises server.
Now I moved Cloud Foundry on Google Cloud Platform, but when I am trying to search AWS-S3 service broker using cf marketplace command. I could not see the aws-s3 service broker.
How to get aws-s3 service broker and if it is not possible then, is there any way to integrate aws-s3 storage with application deployed on CloudFoundry on GCP in case of above scenarios.
It's hard to know what you had deployed on your platform as we don't have any context of what was installed there. Just a guess, but it sounds like you had the Tanzu AWS Service Broker installed. It has service offerings for aws-s3.
https://docs.pivotal.io/aws-services/creating.html#view
You can still install the Tanzu AWS Service Broker when running Tanzu Application Service on top of GCP, you just need to have a AWS account where the broker will create your service instances. The broker creates AWS resources on behalf of the users and it does it under a given AWS account, so as long as you still have an AWS account you can make it work.
That said, there's also a GCP broker that functions in the same, so if you are trying to move off AWS to GCP entirely you could look at using the GCP broker instead. GCP has a similar cloud storage offering.
https://docs.pivotal.io/partners/gcp-sb/index.html
Once you install either broker, you'll see the service plan offerings in your marketplace. If you're still not seeing them, check cf service-access as an admin user. You may need to enable access to those services with cf enable-service-access.
Go back to the team that moved you between CF/AWS and CF/GCP and tell them you need your S3 broker back :)
does anyone of you have some experience using OpenWhisk together with an AMQP feed? I have a RabbitMQ infrastructure with multiple queues and events which should feed into Openwhisk triggers and execute my docker containers.
Sadly I did not found much on the Internet about OpenWhisk in connection with AMQP/RabbitMQ
Many Thanks
An example feed provider for AMQP brokers has recently been published:
https://github.com/cliffjansen/amqp-wsk-feed
This is an open-source feed provider and not currently included in the core platform. You will have to manage and run the feed provider service to use this functionality.
Another option would be to enable the webhooks plugin for RabbitMQ: https://github.com/jbrisbin/rabbitmq-webhooks
Webhooks could be configured to invoke Web Actions on the platform.
I am looking in for the best way to implement the RabbitMQ consumer by using .Net Client which should be run as windows service.
I referred the RabbitMQ documentation and found the way to consume messages by using .Net client (https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-dotnet.html).
My current scenario is like, RabbitMQ is installed in AWS VM machine. I have to install dotnet client consumer service resides in On-premise network which should consume messages.
Which one is the best way, to always listen the Queue (AMQP protocol) or HTTP API which should get messages on demand (https://pulse.mozilla.org/api/).
Please advise.
Thanks,
Vinoth
I believe the answer is "neither." You should have your message queue as a back-end service behind the firewall, and expose your application functionality through a set of carefully-specified web services. The web services, which are exposed through the firewall but can communicate to services behind the firewall, would produce messages that would be transmitted to the server. Any services needing to produce or consume messages would need to do so via the web services, which would perform safety/security checking prior to forwarding the request on to the AMQP server.
If you need to expose AMQP directly to clients (i.e. that is the purpose of your app), then the recommendation is to do so via STOMP. I think a valid use case for exposing AMQP directly over the internet would be a rare thing to come across. The security implications of doing so would be immense.
So I am currently trying to deploy the Redis CF service onto Cloud Foundry which is on an Openstack IAAS and getting stuck with deploying the Redis Service Broker. Cloud Foundry is all set up (deployed using BOSH), but how to I deploy the broker? Is it pushed like an application? Do I need to change any files/manifests manually?
The documentation seemed a little light on how I would do this.
Googling "Cloud Foundry Redis service broker", the first result I find is https://github.com/pivotal-cf/cf-redis-release. This appears to document the deployment and configuration steps pretty well in its README. You will deploy the Redis service as a BOSH deployment, and this service includes the broker. You can drive that broker to register it with the Cloud Foundry service broker API as documented in that same README.
There are a couple ways to handle this.
Run open source Cloud Foundry on top of Openstack and then deploy open source Redis (or Redis Cloud, Redis Enterprise, etc.) and connect to it using User-Provided Service Instances
The easiest way is with a Service Broker (aka Pivotal Tile) as Amit describes in the previous answer. Run Pivotal Cloud Foundry on top of Openstack and then deploy a Redis Service Broker, such as Redis Enterprise Service Broker for Pivotal Cloud Foundry and connect to it as documented.
There are other Redis service providers in the The Foundry: such as a9s, IBM, Redis Labs, Pivotal and Swisscom
I am new to cloud foundry and investigating possible ways for our legacy Java EE application to communicate asynchronously with an application running on cloud foundry.
We are doing a lot of asynchronous work already and are publishing events to Active MQ.
I know that cloud foundry has a possibility to bind with Rabbit MQ and my question is with the possibility for a cloud foundry running application to connect (listen) to an existing out of CF platform Rabbit MQ?
Any idea on other alternatives to achieve this?
Yes, that is possible. You can use a user provided service.
That allows you to inject the environment variables into your app, that are needed to connect to RabbitMQ (like host, port, vhost, username, password).
Once you create that service, you can bind it to your app. Inside your app code, you then can read the environment variables exactly the same way as you would do it, if you had used a RabbitMQ service provided by CloudFoundry.
