Empowering a large-scale virtual education platform with enterprise messaging expertise

State-Run Virtual Education Platform

Standardizing RabbitMQ deployment and training staff while migrating infrastructure from VMware to Nutanix.

RabbitMQ corporate training

Overview

The company, the largest state-run virtual school in the United States, relies on RabbitMQ for critical application messaging. They needed to modernize their RabbitMQ deployment as part of a broader infrastructure migration from VMware to Nutanix while upskilling their team on RabbitMQ administration.

Challenge

The client was transitioning their virtualization platform from VMware to Nutanix, requiring a complete rebuild of their RabbitMQ infrastructure. The operations team needed hands-on training in RabbitMQ clustering, federation, monitoring, and troubleshooting to become self-sufficient in managing the new environment.

Environment

Three-node RabbitMQ clusters on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Nutanix virtualization, SSL/TLS encryption, Prometheus and Grafana monitoring stack.

Approach

AceMQ designed a comprehensive engagement combining hands-on RabbitMQ administration training with parallel infrastructure modernization work. Training sessions covered clustering, federation, shovel operations, Docker-based lab environments, and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring setup. Separately, the team planned the installation and configuration of new RabbitMQ clusters on Nutanix infrastructure.

Solution

  1. Delivered multi-session RabbitMQ administration course with hands-on lab exercises
  2. Covered clustering, federation, shovel plugin, SSL/TLS, and monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana
  3. Planned and documented RabbitMQ installation on new Nutanix infrastructure with Red Hat OS
  4. Provided step-by-step manual installation documentation and Ansible automation playbooks
  5. Configured SSL/TLS encryption and security requirements for production deployment

Outcome

Operations staff gained hands-on proficiency in RabbitMQ administration, enabling self-sufficient cluster management. The new Nutanix-based infrastructure provides a modern, maintainable platform for their messaging needs.
