# Configuring a RabbitMQ broker
<a name="rabbitmq-broker-configuration-parameters"></a>

A configuration contains all the settings for your RabbitMQ broker in Cuttlefish format. You can create a configuration before creating any brokers. You can then apply the configuration to one or more brokers.

## Attributes

+ An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) (arn:aws:mq:us-east-2:123456789012:configuration:c-1234a5b678cd-901e-2fgh-3i45j6k178l9)
