Properties of a DynamoDB Table.

Use {@link TableProps} for all table properties

Parameters:
  • partition_key (Union[Attribute, Dict[str, Any]]) – Partition key attribute definition.

  • sort_key (Union[Attribute, Dict[str, Any], None]) – Sort key attribute definition. Default: no sort key

  • billing_mode (Optional[BillingMode]) – Specify how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. Default: PROVISIONED if replicationRegions is not specified, PAY_PER_REQUEST otherwise

  • contributor_insights_enabled (Optional[bool]) – Whether CloudWatch contributor insights is enabled. Default: false

  • encryption (Optional[TableEncryption]) – Whether server-side encryption with an AWS managed customer master key is enabled. This property cannot be set if serverSideEncryption is set. .. epigraph:: NOTE: if you set this to CUSTOMER_MANAGED and encryptionKey is not specified, the key that the Tablet generates for you will be created with default permissions. If you are using CDKv2, these permissions will be sufficient to enable the key for use with DynamoDB tables. If you are using CDKv1, make sure the feature flag @aws-cdk/aws-kms:defaultKeyPolicies is set to true in your cdk.json. Default: - server-side encryption is enabled with an AWS owned customer master key

  • encryption_key (Optional[IKey]) – External KMS key to use for table encryption. This property can only be set if encryption is set to TableEncryption.CUSTOMER_MANAGED. Default: - If encryption is set to TableEncryption.CUSTOMER_MANAGED and this property is undefined, a new KMS key will be created and associated with this table.

  • point_in_time_recovery (Optional[bool]) – Whether point-in-time recovery is enabled. Default: - point-in-time recovery is disabled

  • read_capacity (Union[int, float, None]) – The read capacity for the table. Careful if you add Global Secondary Indexes, as those will share the table’s provisioned throughput. Can only be provided if billingMode is Provisioned. Default: 5

  • removal_policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The removal policy to apply to the DynamoDB Table. Default: RemovalPolicy.RETAIN

  • replication_regions (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – Regions where replica tables will be created. Default: - no replica tables are created

  • replication_timeout (Optional[Duration]) – The timeout for a table replication operation in a single region. Default: Duration.minutes(30)

  • server_side_encryption (Optional[bool]) – (deprecated) Whether server-side encryption with an AWS managed customer master key is enabled. This property cannot be set if encryption and/or encryptionKey is set. Default: - server-side encryption is enabled with an AWS owned customer master key

  • stream (Optional[StreamViewType]) – When an item in the table is modified, StreamViewType determines what information is written to the stream for this table. Default: - streams are disabled unless replicationRegions is specified

  • table_class (Optional[TableClass]) – Specify the table class. Default: STANDARD

  • time_to_live_attribute (Optional[str]) – The name of TTL attribute. Default: - TTL is disabled

  • wait_for_replication_to_finish (Optional[bool]) – Indicates whether CloudFormation stack waits for replication to finish. If set to false, the CloudFormation resource will mark the resource as created and replication will be completed asynchronously. This property is ignored if replicationRegions property is not set. DO NOT UNSET this property if adding/removing multiple replicationRegions in one deployment, as CloudFormation only supports one region replication at a time. CDK overcomes this limitation by waiting for replication to finish before starting new replicationRegion. Default: true

  • write_capacity (Union[int, float, None]) – The write capacity for the table. Careful if you add Global Secondary Indexes, as those will share the table’s provisioned throughput. Can only be provided if billingMode is Provisioned. Default: 5

Attributes

billing_mode

Specify how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity.

Default:

PROVISIONED if replicationRegions is not specified, PAY_PER_REQUEST otherwise

contributor_insights_enabled

Whether CloudWatch contributor insights is enabled.

Default:

false

encryption

Whether server-side encryption with an AWS managed customer master key is enabled.

This property cannot be set if serverSideEncryption is set. .. epigraph:

**NOTE**: if you set this to ``CUSTOMER_MANAGED`` and ``encryptionKey`` is not
specified, the key that the Tablet generates for you will be created with
default permissions. If you are using CDKv2, these permissions will be
sufficient to enable the key for use with DynamoDB tables.  If you are
using CDKv1, make sure the feature flag
``@aws-cdk/aws-kms:defaultKeyPolicies`` is set to ``true`` in your ``cdk.json``.
Default:
  • server-side encryption is enabled with an AWS owned customer master key

encryption_key

External KMS key to use for table encryption.

This property can only be set if encryption is set to TableEncryption.CUSTOMER_MANAGED.

Default:

  • If encryption is set to TableEncryption.CUSTOMER_MANAGED and this

property is undefined, a new KMS key will be created and associated with this table.

partition_key

Partition key attribute definition.

point_in_time_recovery

Whether point-in-time recovery is enabled.

Default:
  • point-in-time recovery is disabled

read_capacity

The read capacity for the table.

Careful if you add Global Secondary Indexes, as those will share the table’s provisioned throughput.

Can only be provided if billingMode is Provisioned.

Default:

5

removal_policy

The removal policy to apply to the DynamoDB Table.

Default:

RemovalPolicy.RETAIN

replication_regions

Regions where replica tables will be created.

Default:
  • no replica tables are created

replication_timeout

The timeout for a table replication operation in a single region.

Default:

Duration.minutes(30)

server_side_encryption

(deprecated) Whether server-side encryption with an AWS managed customer master key is enabled.

This property cannot be set if encryption and/or encryptionKey is set.

Default:
  • server-side encryption is enabled with an AWS owned customer master key

Deprecated:

This property is deprecated. In order to obtain the same behavior as enabling this, set the encryption property to TableEncryption.AWS_MANAGED instead.

Stability:

deprecated

sort_key

Sort key attribute definition.

Default:

no sort key

stream

When an item in the table is modified, StreamViewType determines what information is written to the stream for this table.

Default:
  • streams are disabled unless replicationRegions is specified

table_class

Specify the table class.

Default:

STANDARD

time_to_live_attribute

The name of TTL attribute.

Default:
  • TTL is disabled

wait_for_replication_to_finish

Indicates whether CloudFormation stack waits for replication to finish.

If set to false, the CloudFormation resource will mark the resource as created and replication will be completed asynchronously. This property is ignored if replicationRegions property is not set.

DO NOT UNSET this property if adding/removing multiple replicationRegions in one deployment, as CloudFormation only supports one region replication at a time. CDK overcomes this limitation by waiting for replication to finish before starting new replicationRegion.

Default:

true

See:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-dynamodb-globaltable.html#cfn-dynamodb-globaltable-replicas

write_capacity

The write capacity for the table.
