The command "aws sqs list-queues" is used with the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to list all the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues available in your AWS account.
When you run this command, it retrieves a list of all the SQS queues that you have created, along with their URLs. The result is displayed in the CLI output, usually in JSON format.
The SQS service is a fully managed message queuing service provided by AWS. It enables you to decouple the components of your applications, allowing them to run independently and communicate asynchronously through message queues.
The "list-queues" command is useful when you want to get an overview of all the SQS queues that exist in your account, which can help you track and manage your messaging infrastructure.
Note that for this command to work, you need to have AWS CLI installed and configured on your system with the necessary credentials to access your AWS account.
