# Use `CreateJobQueue` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="batch_example_batch_CreateJobQueue_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `CreateJobQueue`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code examples:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To create a low priority job queue with a single compute environment**  
This example creates a job queue called LowPriority that uses the M4Spot compute environment.  
Command:  

```
aws batch create-job-queue --cli-input-json file://<path_to_json_file>/LowPriority.json
```
JSON file format:  

```
{
  "jobQueueName": "LowPriority",
  "state": "ENABLED",
  "priority": 10,
  "computeEnvironmentOrder": [
    {
      "order": 1,
      "computeEnvironment": "M4Spot"
    }
  ]
}
```
Output:  

```
{
    "jobQueueArn": "arn:aws:batch:us-east-1:012345678910:job-queue/LowPriority",
    "jobQueueName": "LowPriority"
}
```
**To create a high priority job queue with two compute environments**  
This example creates a job queue called HighPriority that uses the C4OnDemand compute environment with an order of 1 and the M4Spot compute environment with an order of 2. The scheduler will attempt to place jobs on the C4OnDemand compute environment first.  
Command:  

```
aws batch create-job-queue --cli-input-json file://<path_to_json_file>/HighPriority.json
```
JSON file format:  

```
{
  "jobQueueName": "HighPriority",
  "state": "ENABLED",
  "priority": 1,
  "computeEnvironmentOrder": [
    {
      "order": 1,
      "computeEnvironment": "C4OnDemand"
    },
    {
      "order": 2,
      "computeEnvironment": "M4Spot"
    }
  ]
}
```
Output:  

```
{
    "jobQueueArn": "arn:aws:batch:us-east-1:012345678910:job-queue/HighPriority",
    "jobQueueName": "HighPriority"
}
```

#### [ Java ]

**SDK for Java 2.x**  
 There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javav2/example_code/batch#code-examples). 

```
    /**

     *
     * @param jobQueueName the name of the job queue to create
     * @param computeEnvironmentName the name of the compute environment to associate with the job queue
     * @return a CompletableFuture that completes with the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the job queue
     */
    public CompletableFuture<String> createJobQueueAsync(String jobQueueName, String computeEnvironmentName) {
        if (jobQueueName == null || jobQueueName.isEmpty()) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Job queue name cannot be null or empty");
        }
        if (computeEnvironmentName == null || computeEnvironmentName.isEmpty()) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Compute environment name cannot be null or empty");
        }

        CreateJobQueueRequest request = CreateJobQueueRequest.builder()
            .jobQueueName(jobQueueName)
            .priority(1)
            .computeEnvironmentOrder(ComputeEnvironmentOrder.builder()
                .computeEnvironment(computeEnvironmentName)
                .order(1)
                .build())
            .build();

        CompletableFuture<CreateJobQueueResponse> response = getAsyncClient().createJobQueue(request);
        response.whenComplete((resp, ex) -> {
            if (ex != null) {
                String errorMessage = "Unexpected error occurred: " + ex.getMessage();
                throw new RuntimeException(errorMessage, ex);
            }
        });

        return response.thenApply(CreateJobQueueResponse::jobQueueArn);
    }
