Auto Scaling DynamoDB Table Provisioned Capacity

Preparation

Create a DynamoDB table with fixed capacity of 1 Read Capacity Units and 1 Write Capacity Units:

aws dynamodb create-table \
--table-name 'AWSCookbook406' \
--attribute-definitions 'AttributeName=UserID,AttributeType=S' \
--key-schema 'AttributeName=UserID,KeyType=HASH' \
--sse-specification 'Enabled=true,SSEType=KMS' \
--provisioned-throughput \
'ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1'

Put a few records in the table:

aws ddb put AWSCookbook406 '[{UserID: value1}, {UserID: value2}]'

Clean up

Delete the DynamoDB table:

aws dynamodb delete-table \
--table-name 'AWSCookbook406'
