Why?

Because scripting awscli calls together is not so nice. This is much nicer:

$ sqs ls                                                   

NAME                     MESSAGES  IN-FLIGHT  TIMEOUT  MAX  DEAD-LETTER-TARGET
prod-incoming            10        4          120      1    prod-incoming_errors
stage-incoming           1         1          120      5    stage-incoming_errors

Moving messages from one queue to another is not directly possible using AWS Console or CLI. mv helps here:

$ sqs mv prod-incoming_errors prod-incoming --limit 10
