This guide shows you how to create an AutoMQ instance and verify that it can produce and consume Kafka messages.
In this document, product service provider, service provider, and AutoMQ refer to AutoMQ HK Limited.

​
Prerequisites

Complete the installation and operations authorization for an AutoMQ BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) environment. If the environment is not ready, use the guide for your cloud provider:

​
Create an Instance

  1. Sign in to the AutoMQ Console for your environment.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Instances, and then choose New Instance.
  3. If prompted, select the Deployment Profile for the instance.
  4. Follow the wizard to configure the instance settings, capacity, additional settings, and IAM permissions. The wizard displays only the settings supported by the selected environment and AutoMQ version.
  5. Review the configuration and choose Create Instance.
  6. Wait until the instance status is Running before connecting a client.

​
Send and receive messages

  1. Open the instance details page and choose Topics.
  2. Choose Create Topic, configure the Topic, and submit the request.
  3. Open the Topic details page and choose the message production function.
  4. Enter a test record and send it.
  5. Use the message consumption function or a Kafka consumer to verify that the record can be consumed.

​
Next steps

Use a supported Kafka client SDK to integrate your application. See the Client SDK development guide.
Delete test instances and other cloud resources when they are no longer required to avoid additional charges.
