CreateQueueRequest

Create an on-demand queue by sending a CreateQueue request with the name of the queue. Create a reserved queue by sending a CreateQueue request with the pricing plan set to RESERVED and with values specified for the settings under reservationPlanSettings. When you create a reserved queue, you enter into a 12-month commitment to purchase the RTS that you specify. You can't cancel this commitment.

`name`	string	True	The name of the queue that you are creating.

For reserved, you pay for the transcoding capacity of the entire queue, regardless of how much or how little you use it. Reserved pricing requires a 12-month commitment. When you use the API to create a queue, the default is on-demand.
`reservationPlanSettings`	ReservationPlanSettings	False	Details about the pricing plan for your reserved queue. Required for reserved queues and not applicable to on-demand queues.
`status`	QueueStatus	False	Initial state of the queue. If you create a paused queue, then jobs in that queue won't begin.

Successful create queue requests return the name of the queue that you just created and information about it.

Property	Type	Required	Description
`queue`	Queue	False	You can use queues to manage the resources that are available to your AWS account for running multiple transcoding jobs at the same time. If you don't specify a queue, the service sends all jobs through the default queue. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/working-with-queues.html.
