Question

How do you create a DynamoDB table using AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)?

Answer 1

Example Python code snippet:

import boto3

dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb')

table_name = 'MyTable'
attribute_definitions = [{'AttributeName': 'ID', 'AttributeType': 'N'}]
key_schema = [{'AttributeName': 'ID', 'KeyType': 'HASH'}]
provisioned_throughput = {'ReadCapacityUnits': 5, 'WriteCapacityUnits': 5}

dynamodb.create_table(
    TableName=table_name,
    AttributeDefinitions=attribute_definitions,
    KeySchema=key_schema,
    ProvisionedThroughput=provisioned_throughput
)
