Endpoints

For information about this product's regions and endpoints, go to Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

For example, to create a queue in Europe, you would generate a Query request similar to the following:

    http://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/
    ?Action=CreateQueue
    &DefaultVisibilityTimeout=40
    &QueueName=testQueue
    &Version=2009-02-01
    &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256
    &Expires=2009-04-18T22%3A52%3A43PST
    &AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
    &SignatureVersion=2
    &Signature=Dqlp3Sd6ljTUA9Uf6SGtEExwUQEXAMPLE
  

Each Amazon SQS endpoint is entirely independent. For example, if you have two queues called "MyQueue," one in sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com and one in sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com, they are completely independent and do not share any data.
