    },
    "extra":
	{

	    }
	}       
}

Quick Example

Integrating the session handler into core.php

use Aws\Common\Enum\Region;

$aws = array(
    'includes' => array(
        '_aws'
    ),
    'services' => array(
        'default_settings' => array(
            'params' => array(
                'region' => Region::US_EAST_1
            )
        )
    )
);

Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'database',
    'timeout' => 60,
    'handler' => array(
        'engine' => 'AwsUtils.DynamoDBSession',
        'aws' => $aws
    ),
    /* Avoid gc from web-app, manually sweep/clean later */
    'ini' => array('session.gc_probability' => 0)
));
