Create Queue
Creates a new queue. Once created, the queue resource manifest is immutable. Repeating the create call after a queue with same name has been created successfully, results in a 409 conflict error message. Note that Service Bus queue names can contain letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
