Answer 1

Nobody answered about this. Anyway I tried to configure Celery with Amazon SQS, and it seems I achieved a small success.

Kombu should be patched for this, so I wrote some patches and there is my pull request as well. You can configure Amazon SQS by setting BROKER_URL of sqs:// scheme in Celery on the patched Kombu. For example:

BROKER_URL = 'sqs://AWS_ACCESS:AWS_SECRET@:80//'
BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS = {
    'region': 'ap-northeast-1',
    'sdb_persistence': False
}
