A user has created a queue named “myqueue” in US-East region with AWS SQS. The user’s AWS
account ID is 123456789012. If the user wants to perform some action on this queue, which of the
below Queue URL should he use?

A.
http://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/123456789012/myqueue

B.
http://sqs.amazonaws.com/123456789012/myqueue

C.
http://sqs. 123456789012.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myqueue

D.
http:// 123456789012.sqs. us-east-1.amazonaws.com/myqueue

Explanation:
When creating a new queue in SQS, the user must provide a queue name that is unique within the
scope of all queues of user’s account. If the user creates queues using both the latest WSDL and
a previous version, he will have a single namespace for all his queues. Amazon SQS assigns
each queue created by user an identifier called a queue URL, which includes the queue name and
other components that Amazon SQS determines. Whenever the user wants to perform an action
on a queue, he must provide its queue URL. The queue URL for the account id 123456789012 &
queue name “myqueue” in US-East-1 region will be http:// sqs.us-east-
1.amazonaws.com/123456789012/myqueue.
