AWS DynamoDB Table Terraform module

Terraform module to create a DynamoDB table.

Usage

module "dynamodb_table" {
  source   = "terraform-aws-modules/dynamodb-table/aws"

  name     = "my-table"
  hash_key = "id"

  attributes = [
    {
      name = "id"
      type = "N"
    }
  ]

  tags = {
    Terraform   = "true"
    Environment = "staging"
  }
}

Notes

Warning: enabling or disabling autoscaling can cause your table to be recreated

There are two separate Terraform resources used for the DynamoDB table: one is for when any autoscaling is enabled the other when disabled. If your table is already created and then you change the variable autoscaling_enabled then your table will be recreated by Terraform. In this case you will need to move the old aws_dynamodb_table resource that is being destroyed to the new resource that is being created. For example:

terraform state mv module.dynamodb_table.aws_dynamodb_table.this module.dynamodb_table.aws_dynamodb_table.autoscaled

Warning: autoscaling with global secondary indexes

When using an autoscaled provisioned table with GSIs you may find that applying TF changes whilst a GSI is scaled up will reset the capacity, there is an open issue for this on the AWS Provider. To get around this issue you can enable the ignore_changes_global_secondary_index setting however, using this setting means that any changes to GSIs will be ignored by Terraform and will hence have to be applied manually (or via some other automation).

Module wrappers

Users of this Terraform module can create multiple similar resources by using for_each meta-argument within module block which became available in Terraform 0.13.

Users of Terragrunt can achieve similar results by using modules provided in the wrappers directory, if they prefer to reduce amount of configuration files.

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
attributes List of nested attribute definitions. Only required for hash_key and range_key attributes. Each attribute has two properties: name - (Required) The name of the attribute, type - (Required) Attribute type, which must be a scalar type: S, N, or B for (S)tring, (N)umber or (B)inary data list(map(string)) [] no

"target_value": 70
}
no
autoscaling_enabled Whether or not to enable autoscaling. See note in README about this setting bool false no
autoscaling_indexes A map of index autoscaling configurations. See example in examples/autoscaling map(map(string)) {} no
autoscaling_read A map of read autoscaling settings. max_capacity is the only required key. See example in examples/autoscaling map(string) {} no

start_time = optional(string)
end_time = optional(string)
timezone = optional(string)
min_capacity = number
max_capacity = number
})))
{} no

start_time = optional(string)
end_time = optional(string)

}))
[] no
autoscaling_write A map of write autoscaling settings. max_capacity is the only required key. See example in examples/autoscaling map(string) {} no

create_table Controls if DynamoDB table and associated resources are created bool true no
deletion_protection_enabled Enables deletion protection for table bool null no
global_secondary_indexes Describe a GSI for the table; subject to the normal limits on the number of GSIs, projected attributes, etc. any [] no
hash_key The attribute to use as the hash (partition) key. Must also be defined as an attribute string null no
ignore_changes_global_secondary_index Whether to ignore changes lifecycle to global secondary indices, useful for provisioned tables with scaling bool false no
import_table Configurations for importing s3 data into a new table. any {} no
local_secondary_indexes Describe an LSI on the table; these can only be allocated at creation so you cannot change this definition after you have created the resource. any [] no

Outputs

Name Description
dynamodb_table_arn ARN of the DynamoDB table
dynamodb_table_id ID of the DynamoDB table
dynamodb_table_stream_arn The ARN of the Table Stream. Only available when var.stream_enabled is true
dynamodb_table_stream_label A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format of the Table Stream. Only available when var.stream_enabled is true
