Creating an Amazon SQS queue using AWS CloudFormation (original) (raw)

Use the AWS CloudFormation console along with a JSON or YAML template to create an Amazon SQS queue. For more details, see Working with AWS CloudFormation Templates and the AWS::SQS::Queue Resource in the_AWS CloudFormation User Guide_.

To use AWS CloudFormation to create an Amazon SQS queue.

1. Copy the following JSON code to a file named MyQueue.json. To create a standard queue, omit the FifoQueue andContentBasedDeduplication properties. For more information on content-based deduplication, see Exactly-once processing in Amazon SQS.

Note

The name of a FIFO queue must end with the .fifo suffix.
