So Login to your aws account and  as per above screenshot click on EC2.

Click on Launch Instance

As we are going to install rabittmq on ubuntu 18.04 so select ubuntu as per screenshot.

At initial stage you can choose t3.micro type instance which is a free tier and click on Next.

you need to add 2 type 1 for 5672 and another 15672. where select source for 5672 as anywhere and for 15672 should be your ip so as it should be risky to open for public bcz we will install admin plugin on this ip.

Now Click Review and Launch.

and Finally Click on Launch. You will get popup like below screenshot

If you already have key then select existing key or if not then create new key. and click on launch instance.

You will see your EC2 instance on EC2 dashboard, once it shows running status then open your command and run below command to login to your EC2.

You will see below message, type yes

Now we will install ErLang bcz rabittmq is developed in ErLang.

Run below command

wget -O- https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/erlang_solutions.asc | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu bionic contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list

Now run below commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt install erlang

So we have installed ErLang successfully , Now we will install rabbitmq

First of all you need to add rebbitmq repository in ubuntu. So run below command

wget -O- https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/Keys/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
wget -O- https://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-release-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list

Now run below command to install RabbitMQ Server

After installation check if Rabbitmq service is running or not

systemctl status  rabbitmq-server.service

Run below command to install rabbitmq plugin

Now open http://publicip:15672 Url so you will see below screen

If you see above screen then congrats. your rabbitmq has been installed successfully.

Now run below command to create user and assign permission

Please keep password strong

After Login in rabbitmq you willl see below screen

Now we will connect magento2 with rabbitMQ, which is installed on EC2 instance. you can connect it with your local instance of magento as well.

just open your app/etc/env.php file and add code as per below highlight.

<?php
return [
    'backend' => [
        'frontName' => 'admin_348pwd'
    ],
    'queue' => [
        'amqp' => [
            'host' => '15.185.114.30',
            'port' => '5672',
            'user' => 'rabit',
            'password' => 'admin123',
            'virtualhost' => '/',
            'ssl' => ''
        ]
    ],
    'crypt' => [
        'key' => 'c17d9285bd7188b929aeb167c6709690'
    ],
    'db' => [
        'table_prefix' => '',
        'connection' => [
            'default' => [
                'host' => 'localhost',
                'dbname' => 'phpacademy',
                'username' => 'root',
                'password' => 'root@123',
                'model' => 'mysql4',
                'engine' => 'innodb',
                'initStatements' => 'SET NAMES utf8;',
                'active' => '1',
                'driver_options' => [
                    1014 => false
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ],

Here you can see few parameters we have set

host : if will be public ip of your EC2 instance

port : it will be 5672

user : it will be username of your rabittMQ, Please make sure user has virtual host permission as below

If It dont have any access please click on username, you can see Set permission button, click on it to give access.

Now run php bin/magento setup:upgrade command to sync your consumer and queues to rabittMQ.

If you didn’t created any consumer and queues you will see below queue in rabittMQ

async.operations.all   
which is magento’s default queue.

Hope you understand the process for Install RabittMQ on your EC2 instance and connect with your magento2.
