DynamoDB Table

Amazon DynamoDB is AWS’s fully-managed NoSQL database service, providing single-millisecond latency at virtually any scale. A DynamoDB table is the primary container for data, storing items as key–value pairs and supporting features such as on-demand or provisioned capacity, global replication, streams and automatic encryption at rest.
For a full description of table capabilities, limits and API operations, see the official AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_Table.html

Terrafrom Mappings:

  • aws_dynamodb_table.arn

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get a DynamoDB table by name
  • LIST: List all DynamoDB tables
  • SEARCH: Search for DynamoDB tables by ARN

dynamodb-table​

When a table participates in a global table configuration, each regional replica is represented as a separate dynamodb-table item. Overmind links these peer replicas so that you can see the full set of regions involved in the same globally replicated table.

kms-key​

If server-side encryption is enabled with a customer-managed KMS key, the table is linked to the kms-key that protects its data. This allows you to trace encryption dependencies and assess the impact of key rotation or deletion.
