AWS Boto3 SQS endpoint URL issue

We have a Lambda function that sends messages to SQS queue. We are using boto3.

We have built a new environment and Lambda is running in a VPC on a private subnet. The VPC end point is com.amazonaws.eu-west-2.sqs

Lambda code

sqs = boto3.resource('sqs')
# Get the queue

queue = sqs.get_queue_by_name(QueueName=QueueID)

This gives us the following error EndpointConnectionError: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://eu-west-2.queue.amazonaws.com/"

We have tried the following change

sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
# Get the queue
queue = sqs.get_queue_url(QueueName=QueueID, QueueOwnerAWSAccountId='xxxxxxxxxxxx')

We get the same error

It is a legacy endpoint issue but we do not know how to use the new endpoints in the Lambda function.

Because you're using a VPC endpoint for SQS you need to override the address that boto3 is using by default.

Something like this:

sqs = boto3.resource('sqs', endpoint_url="https://com.amazonaws.eu-west-2.sqs")
