Global table requires autoscaling enabled and configured

[databasepanda]

Description

Global table, or better replica can't be configured if not previously autoscaling was enabled and properly configured (settings for read/ write).
Trying both at once (enabling and configure autoscaling and enable a replica) will give the following error:

Error: updating AWS DynamoDB Table (my-table): updating replicas, while creating: creating replica (us-east-1): operation error DynamoDB: UpdateTable, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: xxx, api error ValidationException: Table write capacity should either be Pay-Per-Request or AutoScaled.

Potentially, the replica resources in the module are missing a depends_on on the autoscaling resources.

Doing both in two separate MRs (first enabling autoscaling, then configuring a replica) works fine, but doesn't make the module for IaC imvho.

⚠️ Note

Before you submit an issue, please perform the following first:

1. Remove the local .terraform directory (! ONLY if state is stored remotely, which hopefully you are following that best practice!): rm -rf .terraform/
2. Re-initialize the project root to pull down modules: terraform init
3. Re-attempt your terraform plan or apply and check if the issue still persists

Actual behavior

apply fails with error:

Error: updating AWS DynamoDB Table (my-table): updating replicas, while creating: creating replica (us-east-1): operation error DynamoDB: UpdateTable, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: xxx, api error ValidationException: Table write capacity should either be Pay-Per-Request or AutoScaled.

Additional context

jumped the gun so removing bug label - we'll need a reproduction. The PR #110 is incorrect and will not work; clearly this has not been tested or validated

this is a provider issue hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#13097
