Use AMS SSP to provision Amazon DynamoDB in your AMS account

Focus mode
Use AMS SSP to provision Amazon DynamoDB in your AMS account - AMS Advanced User Guide

Use AMS Self-Service Provisioning (SSP) mode to access Amazon DynamoDB (DynamoDB) capabilities directly in your AMS managed account. Amazon DynamoDB is a key value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed, multi-region, multi-active database with built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching for internet scale applications. To learn more, see Amazon DynamoDB.

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a write-through caching service that is designed to simplify the process of adding a cache to DynamoDB tables. DAX is intended for applications that require high-performance reads.

DynamoDB in AWS Managed Services FAQs

Q: How do I request access to DynamoDB and DAX in my AMS account?

Request access to DynamoDB and DAX by submitting an RFC with the Management | AWS service | Self-provisioned service | Add (ct-1w8z66n899dct) change type. This RFC provisions the following IAM roles and policies to your account:

  • DynamoDB role name: customer_dynamodb_role

    DAX service role name: customer_dax_service_role

  • DynamoDB policy name: customer_dynamodb_policy

    DAX service policy: customer_dax_service_policy

Once provisioned in your account, you must onboard the customer_dynamodb_role in your federation solution.

Q: What are the restrictions to using DynamoDB in my AMS account?

All DynamoDB functionality are supported including DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX).

When creating alarms for any given table, the alarm name must be prefixed with "customer*"; for example, customer-employee-table-high-put-latency.

When creating an Amazon SNS topic for DynamoDB, it must be named: dynamodb.

To delete the Amazon SNS topic created by DynamoDB, submit a Management | Other | Other | Update change type RFC.

Q: What are the prerequisites or dependencies to using DynamoDB in my AMS account?

There are no prerequisites or dependencies to use DynamoDB in your AMS account.
