Overview

Aws::Sqs – RightScale’s Amazon SQS interface, API version 2008-01-01 and later. The Aws::Sqs class provides a complete interface to the second generation of Amazon’s Simple Queue Service. For explanations of the semantics of each call, please refer to Amazon’s documentation at developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=31

Aws::Sqs is built atop Aws::SqsInterface, a lower-level procedural API that may be appropriate for certain programs.

Error handling: all operations raise an Aws::AwsError in case of problems. Note that transient errors are automatically retried.

sqs    = Aws::Sqs.new(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key)
queue1 = sqs.queue('my_awesome_queue')
 ...
queue2 = Aws::Sqs::Queue.create(sqs, 'my_cool_queue', true)
puts queue2.size
 ...
message1 = queue2.receive
message1.visibility = 0
puts message1
 ...
queue2.clear(true)
queue2.send_message('Ola-la!')
message2 = queue2.pop
 ...

NB: Second-generation SQS has eliminated the entire access grant mechanism present in Gen 1.

Params is a hash:

{:server       => 'queue.amazonaws.com' # Amazon service host: 'queue.amazonaws.com' (default)
 :port         => 443                   # Amazon service port: 80 or 443 (default)
 :multi_thread => true|false            # Multi-threaded (connection per each thread): true or false (default)
 :signature_version => '0'              # The signature version : '0' or '1'(default)
 :logger       => Logger Object}        # Logger instance: logs to STDOUT if omitted }
