Container for the parameters to the CreateGlobalTable operation. Creates a global table from an existing table. A global table creates a replication relationship between two or more DynamoDB tables with the same table name in the provided Regions.

This operation only applies to Version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) of global tables. We recommend using Version 2019.11.21 (Current) when creating new global tables, as it provides greater flexibility, higher efficiency and consumes less write capacity than 2017.11.29 (Legacy). To determine which version you are using, see Determining the version. To update existing global tables from version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) to version 2019.11.21 (Current), see Updating global tables.

If you want to add a new replica table to a global table, each of the following conditions must be true:

If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

If local secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:

Write capacity settings should be set consistently across your replica tables and secondary indexes. DynamoDB strongly recommends enabling auto scaling to manage the write capacity settings for all of your global tables replicas and indexes.

If you prefer to manage write capacity settings manually, you should provision equal replicated write capacity units to your replica tables. You should also provision equal replicated write capacity units to matching secondary indexes across your global table.
