To create a custom queue

The following create-queue example creates a custom transcoding queue.

aws mediaconvert create-queue \
    --endpoint-url https://abcd1234.mediaconvert.region-name-1.amazonaws.com \
    --region region-name-1 \
    --name Queue1 \
    --description "Keep this queue empty unless job is urgent."

To get your account-specific endpoint, use describe-endpoints, or send the command without the endpoint. The service returns an error and your endpoint.

Output:

{
    "Queue": {
        "Status": "ACTIVE",
        "Name": "Queue1",
        "LastUpdated": 1518034928,
        "Arn": "arn:aws:mediaconvert:region-name-1:012345678998:queues/Queue1",
        "Type": "CUSTOM",
        "CreatedAt": 1518034928,
        "Description": "Keep this queue empty unless job is urgent."
    }
}
