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.
