Summary

Configuration is an important part of administrating RabbitMQ. We can achieve a decent configuration over RabbitMQ using its different configuration types to different parts of RabbitMQ. We can control the file locations and network configuration using environment variables; express the server settings, authentication, permissions, and limits through configuration variables in configuration file of RabbitMQ; and finally, we can change these parameters at the runtime using runtime parameters.

Now, we have completed the configuration part of RabbitMQ. We are ready to dive into the technical and architectural structure of RabbitMQ in the next chapter.
