      summary: Create Queue
      description: Creates a new queue for the specified Connect Customer instance. If the phone number is claimed to a traffic
        distribution group that was created in the same Region as the Connect Customer instance where you are calling this
        API, then you can use a full phone number ARN or a UUID for OutboundCallerIdNumberId. However, if the phone number
        is claimed to a traffic distribution group that is in one Region, and you are calling this API from an instance in
        another Amazon Web Services Region that is associated with the traffic distribution group, you must provide a full
        phone number ARN. If a UUID is provided in this scenario, you will receive a ResourceNotFoundException. Only use the
        phone number ARN format that doesn't contain instance in the path, for example, arn:aws:connect:us-east-1:1234567890:phone-number/uuid.
        This is the same ARN format that is returned when you call the ListPhoneNumbersV2 API. If you plan to use IAM policies
        to allow/deny access to this API for phone number resources claimed to a traffic distribution group, see Allow or
        Deny queue API actions for phone numbers in a replica Region.
