aws: Get an interactive wizard for an AWS resource.
$ aws dynamodb wizard ${new_table}
try on your machine

The command "aws dynamodb wizard ${new_table}" is used to launch the DynamoDB Table Wizard in the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "aws" is the command to interact with various AWS services through the CLI.
  • "dynamodb" is the AWS service name for Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed and scalable NoSQL database offered by AWS.
  • "wizard" is a specific command within DynamoDB that launches a wizard to guide you through the process of creating a new DynamoDB table with pre-defined attributes and configurations.
  • "${new_table}" is a placeholder that represents the variable or parameter you provide to the command. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual name you want to give to your new DynamoDB table.

By running this command, the DynamoDB Table Wizard will be launched, prompting you with a series of questions to customize your table's primary key, attribute definitions, throughput capacity, and other options. This wizard helps simplify the process of creating a DynamoDB table by providing a guided interface instead of manually specifying all the details every time.
