In commit: 5780f1e
support for queues already defined in Amazon SQS was added.

However, simply by following the instructions at https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/brokers/sqs.html and Getting Started page, I must say that I'm still not able to process any message (it's not an issue with credentials or region).

Could you update the docs.celeryproject.org page with the most current instructions on how to configure and run the Celery worker to consume messages from existing SQS queues in AWS (e.g. messages from various events, such as S3 file changes or from other SNS topics)?

Because SQS requires some special care, if we consume messages from existing queues, it would be great if recent changes in kombu / SQS transport were presented in the form of code samples , such as "from" from celery import Celery "to"app.start ()
