# (Optional) Step 3: Define queue details
<a name="define-queue"></a>

The queue is responsible for tracking progress and scheduling work for your jobs.

1. Starting in **Queue details, **provide a **Name** for the queue.

1. For **Description**, enter the queue description. A clear description can help you quickly identify your queue's purpose.

1. For **Job attachments**, you can either create a new Amazon S3 bucket or choose an existing Amazon S3 bucket. If you don't have an existing Amazon S3 bucket, you'll need to create one.

   1. To create a new Amazon S3 bucket, select **Create new job bucket**. You can define the name of the job bucket in the **Root prefix** field. We recommend calling the bucket **deadlinecloud-job-attachments-[QUEUENAME]**.

      You can only use lowercase letters and dashes. No spaces or special characters.

   1. To search for and select an existing Amazon S3 bucket, select **Choose from existing Amazon S3 bucket**. Then, search for an existing bucket by choosing **Browse S3**. When the list of your available Amazon S3 buckets display, select the Amazon S3 bucket you want to use for your queue.

1. (Optional) Choose **Additional farm settings**.

   1. If you are using customer-managed fleets, select **Enable association with customer-managed fleets**.

      1. For customer-managed fleets, add a **Queue-configured user**, and then set the POSIX and/or Windows credentials. Alternatively, you can bypass the run-as functionality by selecting the checkbox.

      1. If you want to set a budget for a queue, choose **Require a budget for this queue**. If you require a budget, you must create the budget using the Deadline Cloud console to schedule jobs in the queue.

   1. Your queue requires permission to access Amazon S3 on your behalf. We recommend you create a new service role for every queue.

      1. For a new role, complete the following steps.

         1. Select **Create and use a new service role**.

         1. Enter a **Role name** for your queue role or use the provided role name.

         1. (Optional) Add a queue role **Description**.

         1. You can view the IAM permissions for the queue role by choosing **View permission details**.

      1. Alternatively, you can select an existing service role.

   1. (Optional) Add environment variables for the queue environment using name and value pairs.

   1. (Optional) Add tags for the queue using key and value pairs.

Choose one of the following options:
+ Select **Skip to Review and Create** to [ review and create your farm](review-and-create.md).
+ Select **Next** to proceed to additional, optional steps.
