CreateQueueRequest

Create an on-demand queue by sending a CreateQueue request with the name of the queue. Create a reserved queue by sending a CreateQueue request with the pricing plan set to RESERVED and with values specified for the settings under reservationPlanSettings. When you create a reserved queue, you enter into a 12-month commitment to purchase the RTS that you specify. You can't cancel this commitment.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
concurrentJobs

integer

Format: int64

False

Specify the maximum number of jobs your queue can process concurrently. For on-demand queues, the value you enter is constrained by your service quotas for Maximum concurrent jobs, per on-demand queue and Maximum concurrent jobs, per account. For reserved queues, specify the number of jobs you can process concurrently in your reservation plan instead.

When you use the API to create a queue, the default is on-demand.
