What to do next

Use a RAM user identity to access Message Service (MNS).
  1. Download the latest version of the MNS Python SDK to an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance and decompress the package.
  2. Open the sample.cfg file in the mns_python_sdk directory, and configure the AccessKey pair (AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret) that you retrieved in Step 1 and the MNS endpoint of the Alibaba Cloud account.
  3. Run the following command: $python sample.py.

    If no error is returned, the AccessKey pair can be used to access MNS queues that are created by the Alibaba Cloud account.
