AWS: Boto3: Send Message Queue

In this simple example, I configure AWS Boto3 to send a message to known queue.

import boto3
sqs = boto3.resource('sqs')
queue = sqs.get_queue_by_name(QueueName='Your_Queue_Name')
response = queue.send_message(MessageBody='BodyText')
print(response.get('MD5OfMessageBody'))

Note - you must configure your Access Credentials, the way they can be done is given in the URL Below

I generally prefer to set it as my shell variable, but it is totally up to you.

The user/object with which you are accessing should have SQS Policy Attached so that it can write to the Queue.
