HAQM Simple Queue Service (HAQM SQS) FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queues are now available in the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region. 

HAQM SQS FIFO queues are now available in 22 regions, including the following announced regions:
• US East (N. Virginia, Ohio)
• US West (N. California, Oregon)
• Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo)

• China (Ningxia) Region (operated by NWCD)

HAQM SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that makes it easy to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. HAQM SQS FIFO queues complement HAQM SQS standard queues, which offer best-effort ordering and at-least-once delivery. FIFO queues have the same features as standard queues but provide the added benefits of supporting ordering and exactly-once processing.  

HAQM SQS FIFO queues are priced at $0.50 per million API requests, with the first 1 million monthly requests free. For more information, see HAQM SQS Pricing.  

Get started with HAQM SQS using the AWS Management Console or the AWS SDKs
