Creates an Batch job queue. When you create a job queue, you associate one or more compute environments to the queue and assign an order of preference for the compute environments.

You also set a priority to the job queue that determines the order that the Batch scheduler places jobs onto its associated compute environments. For example, if a compute environment is associated with more than one job queue, the job queue with a higher priority is given preference for scheduling jobs to that compute environment.

Request body

jobQueueNamestring required

The name of the job queue. It can be up to 128 letters long. It can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

state'ENABLED' | 'DISABLED'

The state of the job queue. If the job queue state is <code>ENABLED</code>, it is able to accept jobs. If the job queue state is <code>DISABLED</code>, new jobs can't be added to the queue, but jobs already in the queue can finish.

schedulingPolicyArnstring

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the fair share scheduling policy. If this parameter is specified, the job queue uses a fair share scheduling policy. If this parameter isn't specified, the job queue uses a first in, first out (FIFO) scheduling policy. After a job queue is created, you can replace but can't remove the fair share scheduling policy. The format is <code>aws:<i>Partition</i>:batch:<i>Region</i>:<i>Account</i>:scheduling-policy/<i>Name</i> </code>. An example is <code>aws:aws:batch:us-west-2:123456789012:scheduling-policy/MySchedulingPolicy</code>.

priorityinteger required

The priority of the job queue. Job queues with a higher priority (or a higher integer value for the <code>priority</code> parameter) are evaluated first when associated with the same compute environment. Priority is determined in descending order. For example, a job queue with a priority value of <code>10</code> is given scheduling preference over a job queue with a priority value of <code>1</code>. All of the compute environments must be either EC2 (<code>EC2</code> or <code>SPOT</code>) or Fargate (<code>FARGATE</code> or <code>FARGATE_SPOT</code>); EC2 and Fargate compute environments can't be mixed.

tagsobject

The tags that you apply to the job queue to help you categorize and organize your resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/userguide/using-tags.html">Tagging your Batch resources</a> in <i>Batch User Guide</i>.
