2024/03/20 - Amazon DynamoDB - 3 new1 updated api methods
Changes This release introduces 3 new APIs ('GetResourcePolicy', 'PutResourcePolicy' and 'DeleteResourcePolicy') and modifies the existing 'CreateTable' API for the resource-based policy support. It also modifies several APIs to accept a 'TableArn' for the 'TableName' parameter.
Deletes the resource-based policy attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream.
DeleteResourcePolicy is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource doesn't result in an error response, unless you specify an ExpectedRevisionId, which will then return a PolicyNotFoundException.

Request Syntax
client.delete_resource_policy(
ResourceArn='string',
ExpectedRevisionId='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource from which the policy will be removed. The resources you can specify include tables and streams. If you remove the policy of a table, it will also remove the permissions for the table's indexes defined in that policy document. This is because index permissions are defined in the table's policy.
string
A string value that you can use to conditionally delete your policy. When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, the request will fail and return a PolicyNotFoundException.

{
'RevisionId': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
RevisionId (string) --
A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you are comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.
This value will be empty if you make a request against a resource without a policy.
Attaches a resource-based policy document to the resource, which can be a table or stream. When you attach a resource-based policy using this API, the policy application is eventually consistent.
PutResourcePolicy is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource using the same policy document will return the same revision ID. If you specify an ExpectedRevisionId which doesn't match the current policy's RevisionId, the PolicyNotFoundException will be returned.

Request Syntax
client.put_resource_policy(
ResourceArn='string',
Policy='string',
ExpectedRevisionId='string',
ConfirmRemoveSelfResourceAccess=True|False
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource to which the policy will be attached. The resources you can specify include tables and streams.
You can control index permissions using the base table's policy. To specify the same permission level for your table and its indexes, you can provide both the table and index Amazon Resource Name (ARN)s in the Resource field of a given Statement in your policy document. Alternatively, to specify different permissions for your table, indexes, or both, you can define multiple Statement fields in your policy document.
string
[REQUIRED]
An Amazon Web Services resource-based policy document in JSON format.
The maximum size supported for a resource-based policy document is 20 KB. DynamoDB counts whitespaces when calculating the size of a policy against this limit. For a full list of all considerations that you should keep in mind while attaching a resource-based policy, see Resource-based policy considerations.
string
A string value that you can use to conditionally update your policy. You can provide the revision ID of your existing policy to make mutating requests against that policy. When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, your request will be rejected with a PolicyNotFoundException.
To conditionally put a policy when no policy exists for the resource, specify NO_POLICY for the revision ID.
boolean
Set this parameter to true to confirm that you want to remove your permissions to change the policy of this resource in the future.

(dict) --
RevisionId (string) --
A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you are comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.
Returns the resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.
GetResourcePolicy follows an eventually consistent model. The following list describes the outcomes when you issue the GetResourcePolicy request immediately after issuing another request:
If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a PutResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return a PolicyNotFoundException.
If you issue a GetResourcePolicy``request immediately after a ``DeleteResourcePolicy request, DynamoDB might return the policy that was present before the deletion request.
If you issue a GetResourcePolicy request immediately after a CreateTable request, which includes a resource-based policy, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException or a PolicyNotFoundException.
Because GetResourcePolicy uses an eventually consistent query, the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then retry the GetResourcePolicy request.
After a GetResourcePolicy request returns a policy created using the PutResourcePolicy request, you can assume the policy will start getting applied in the authorization of requests to the resource. Because this process is eventually consistent, it will take some time to apply the policy to all requests to a resource. Policies that you attach while creating a table using the CreateTable request will always be applied to all requests for that table.

{'ResourcePolicy': 'string'}
The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an Amazon Web Services account, table names must be unique within each Region. That is, you can have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different Regions.
CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a CreateTable request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus of CREATING. After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus to ACTIVE. You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE table.
You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING state at any given time.
You can use the DescribeTable action to check the table status.

When an item in the table is modified, StreamViewType determines what information is written to the stream for this table. Valid values for StreamViewType are:
KEYS_ONLY - Only the key attributes of the modified item are written to the stream.
NEW_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appears after it was modified, is written to the stream.
OLD_IMAGE - The entire item, as it appeared before it was modified, is written to the stream.
NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - Both the new and the old item images of the item are written to the stream.
dict
Represents the settings used to enable server-side encryption.
Enabled (boolean) --
Indicates whether server-side encryption is done using an Amazon Web Services managed key or an Amazon Web Services owned key.

If disabled (false) or not specified, server-side encryption is set to Amazon Web Services owned key.
SSEType (string) --
Server-side encryption type. The only supported value is:
KMS - Server-side encryption that uses Key Management Service. The key is stored in your account and is managed by KMS (KMS charges apply).
KMSMasterKeyId (string) --
The KMS key that should be used for the KMS encryption. To specify a key, use its key ID, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), alias name, or alias ARN. Note that you should only provide this parameter if the key is different from the default DynamoDB key alias/aws/dynamodb.
list
A list of key-value pairs to label the table. For more information, see Tagging for DynamoDB.
(dict) --
Describes a tag. A tag is a key-value pair. You can add up to 50 tags to a single DynamoDB table.
Amazon Web Services-assigned tag names and values are automatically assigned the aws: prefix, which the user cannot assign. Amazon Web Services-assigned tag names do not count towards the tag limit of 50. User-assigned tag names have the prefix user: in the Cost Allocation Report. You cannot backdate the application of a tag.
For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The key of the tag. Tag keys are case sensitive. Each DynamoDB table can only have up to one tag with the same key. If you try to add an existing tag (same key), the existing tag value will be updated to the new value.
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The value of the tag. Tag values are case-sensitive and can be null.
string
The table class of the new table. Valid values are STANDARD and STANDARD_INFREQUENT_ACCESS.
boolean
Indicates whether deletion protection is to be enabled (true) or disabled (false) on the table.
string
An Amazon Web Services resource-based policy document in JSON format that will be attached to the table.
When you attach a resource-based policy while creating a table, the policy creation is strongly consistent.
The maximum size supported for a resource-based policy document is 20 KB. DynamoDB counts whitespaces when calculating the size of a policy against this limit. You can’t request an increase for this limit. For a full list of all considerations that you should keep in mind while attaching a resource-based policy, see Resource-based policy considerations.

Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 ReadCapacityUnits per second provides 100 eventually consistent ReadCapacityUnits per second.
WriteCapacityUnits (integer) --
The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException.
TableSizeBytes (integer) --
The total size of the specified table, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
ItemCount (integer) --
The number of items in the specified table. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
TableArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the table.
TableId (string) --
Unique identifier for the table for which the backup was created.
BillingModeSummary (dict) --
Contains the details for the read/write capacity mode.
BillingMode (string) --
Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.
PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED. We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.
PAY_PER_REQUEST - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST. We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for unpredictable workloads.
LastUpdateToPayPerRequestDateTime (datetime) --
Represents the time when PAY_PER_REQUEST was last set as the read/write capacity mode.
LocalSecondaryIndexes (list) --
Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:
IndexName - The name of the local secondary index.
KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.
Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:
ProjectionType - One of the following:
KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.
INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes.
ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.
NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.
IndexSizeBytes - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
ItemCount - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.
(dict) --
Represents the properties of a local secondary index.
IndexName (string) --
Represents the name of the local secondary index.
KeySchema (list) --
The complete key schema for the local secondary index, consisting of one or more pairs of attribute names and key types:
HASH - partition key
RANGE - sort key
(dict) --
Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.
A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.
A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.
AttributeName (string) --
The name of a key attribute.
KeyType (string) --
The role that this key attribute will assume:
HASH - partition key
RANGE - sort key
Projection (dict) --
Represents attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the global secondary index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected.
ProjectionType (string) --
The set of attributes that are projected into the index:
KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.
INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.
ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.
When using the DynamoDB console, ALL is selected by default.
NonKeyAttributes (list) --
Represents the non-key attribute names which will be projected into the index.
For local secondary indexes, the total count of NonKeyAttributes summed across all of the local secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.
(string) --
IndexSizeBytes (integer) --
The total size of the specified index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

IndexArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the index.
GlobalSecondaryIndexes (list) --
The global secondary indexes, if any, on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Each element is composed of:
Backfilling - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.) You can delete an index that is being created during the Backfilling phase when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when IndexStatus is set to CREATING and Backfilling is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a CreateTable operation.)
IndexName - The name of the global secondary index.
IndexSizeBytes - The total size of the global secondary index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

CREATING - The index is being created.
UPDATING - The index is being updated.
DELETING - The index is being deleted.
ACTIVE - The index is ready for use.
ItemCount - The number of items in the global secondary index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
KeySchema - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.
Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:
ProjectionType - One of the following:
KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.
INCLUDE - In addition to the attributes described in KEYS_ONLY, the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.
ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.
NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.
ProvisionedThroughput - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.
If the table is in the DELETING state, no information about indexes will be returned.
