Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Creating a queue

AWS Elemental MediaConvert provides a default on-demand queue. A default queue is available in all Amazon Web Services Regions. Other queues appear only in the Amazon Web Services Region where they are created. To add additional resources to your account, you can create your own on-demand queues.

To learn how queues affect the way that MediaConvert allocates the processing of resources, see Processing multiple jobs in parallel . The following tabs show different options for creating an on-demand queue.

Console

To create an on-demand queue by using the MediaConvert console:

  1. Open the Queues page in the MediaConvert console.

  2. Choose Create queue.

  3. Enter a Name. Then optionally enter a Description and any Tags.

  4. Optionally enter a value for Concurrent jobs.

  5. Choose Create queue.

Amazon CLI

The following create-queue example creates a new on-demand queue with 100 concurrent jobs.

aws mediaconvert create-queue \
	--region region-name-1 \
	--name Queue1 \
	--description "Example queue description." \
	--concurrentJobs "100" \
	--tags "KeyName1=string1,KeyName2=string2"
