在两个不同的AWS账户中提供Feed SQS队列

Question

For putting messages to SQS Queues and getting a connection, we need to have a key for the account/user.

I want to feed messages to two queues which are available in two different AWS Accounts. How can I achieve that? As far as my understanding is, we can setup only one access/key credentials hence we cannot talk to two queues available in two different AWS Accounts.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can use credentials from one account ("Account A") to make API calls to an Amazon SQS queue in a different account ("Account B").

Simply add a policy to the SQS queue in the target account (Account B). Here is a sample policy from the Using Identity-Based Policies (IAM) Policies for Amazon SQS documentation:

The following example policy grants AWS account number 111122223333 the SendMessage permission for the queue named 444455556666/queue1 in the US East (Ohio) region.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "Queue1_Policy_UUID",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid":"Queue1_SendMessage",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "111122223333"
      },
      "Action": "sqs:SendMessage",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:us-east-2:444455556666:queue1"
    }
  ]  
}
