AWS SQS
Overview
Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) is a fully managed message queuing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It enables applications to decouple the components of distributed systems by allowing them to communicate asynchronously through message queues.
Prerequisites
You can check the list of prerequisites required for AWS SQS here. These are the same for any other AWS service that you need to monitor using AIOps. Move to the section Adding AWS resources for Monitoring on the above link to view the prerequisites for AWS resource monitoring.
