Hey devs.
Today we are going to see how we can setup **Amazon Simple Queue Service** (SQS) in AWS Console.

**SQS** is a very popular messaging queue service which works on producer consumer model and is very popular among all the available messaging queue services like *Kafka*,*RabbitMQ* etc.

**Prerequisite**  : an activated AWS account.
Lets Setup SQS Step by Step:

- Open AWS Console.

- Enter SQS in the Search bar at the top.

- Select Simple Queue Service and click on *Create Queue*.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/YSdBFtrW/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-49-14-AM.png)

- On Clicking Create Queue a window will open asking for queue config details like name and all.

- Enter the Queue Name and skip all the configuration below:

- Now as the queue is now created, you also need to create a group and a user to further use that user in you APIs like *Spring Boot or Node.js*.Search for **IAM** in the search bar.

- Select IAM and then click on User Groups.

A User group is basically a group where we add the permissions and configuration which users can later access by getting added to that group.

- Click on Create Group Button.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/5tKNVBFT/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-51-30-AM.png)

- Now under Create group,set the Group Name and add permissions to that group.You need to set 2 permissions here i.e *AmazonEC2Access and AdministratorAccess* and click on create Group.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/gcZcC6ct/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-53-08-AM.png)

- As the group has been successfully created,now its time to create a user and add it to this group.Click on **Users** in the left Column and click on **Add User**.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/ZntmbVY7/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-53-51-AM.png)

- Add the user to the created group.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/Rh7BNKNM/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-54-00-AM.png)

- Now Click on next and confirm the user creation.

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/pdrRqm1Z/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-54-10-AM.png)

![enter image description here](https://i.postimg.cc/fWmZ2n56/Screenshot-2022-05-28-at-10-54-20-AM.png)

- Now the user has been successfully created and now you can use the *Access Key* and *Secret Key* in your application and integrate with the SQS queues.

That's it for today,Next I will be writing a detailed article on how you can use queues in Spring Boot Servers with SQS Integration.

**See you guys soon!**
