aws: List AWS resources in a region and output in YAML.

$ aws dynamodb list-tables --region ${us-east-1} --output yaml

try on your machine

This command is used to list all the tables in Amazon DynamoDB, which is a NoSQL database service provided by AWS (Amazon Web Services). Here is a breakdown of the command:

aws dynamodb refers to the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) command for DynamoDB.
list-tables is the specific action being performed. It instructs AWS CLI to list all available tables in DynamoDB.
--region ${us-east-1} specifies the AWS region where DynamoDB is located. In this case, it is set to us-east-1, but you can replace it with your desired region code.
--output yaml sets the output format of the result to YAML (Yet Another Markup Language). This means the response will be formatted using YAML syntax, which is a human-readable structured format.

When you run this command, the output will be a YAML-formatted list of all the tables in DynamoDB within the specified region.
