<p>Creates a new standard or FIFO queue. You can pass one or more attributes in the request. Keep the following in mind:</p> <ul> <li> <p>If you don't specify the <code>FifoQueue</code> attribute, Amazon SQS creates a standard queue.</p> <note> <p>You can't change the queue type after you create it and you can't convert an existing standard queue into a FIFO queue. You must either create a new FIFO queue for your application or delete your existing standard queue and recreate it as a FIFO queue. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/FIFO-queues.html#FIFO-queues-moving">Moving From a Standard Queue to a FIFO Queue</a> in the <i>Amazon SQS Developer Guide</i>. </p> </note> </li> <li> <p>If you don't provide a value for an attribute, the queue is created with the default value for the attribute.</p> </li> <li> <p>If you delete a queue, you must wait at least 60 seconds before creating a queue with the same name.</p> </li> </ul> <p>To successfully create a new queue, you must provide a queue name that adheres to the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/limits-queues.html">limits related to queues</a> and is unique within the scope of your queues.</p> <note> <p>After you create a queue, you must wait at least one second after the queue is created to be able to use the queue.</p> </note> <p>To get the queue URL, use the <code> <a>GetQueueUrl</a> </code> action. <code> <a>GetQueueUrl</a> </code> requires only the <code>QueueName</code> parameter. be aware of existing queue names:</p> <ul> <li> <p>If you provide the name of an existing queue along with the exact names and values of all the queue's attributes, <code>CreateQueue</code> returns the queue URL for the existing queue.</p> </li> <li> <p>If the queue name, attribute names, or attribute values don't match an existing queue, <code>CreateQueue</code> returns an error.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the <code>param.n</code> notation. Values of <code>n</code> are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:</p> <p> <code>&amp;AttributeName.1=first</code> </p> <p> <code>&amp;AttributeName.2=second</code> </p> <note> <p>Cross-account permissions don't apply to this action.
