ReplicationGroupUpdate - Amazon DynamoDB
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

ReplicationGroupUpdate

Represents one of the following:

  • A new replica to be added to an existing regional table or global table. This request invokes the CreateTableReplica action in the destination Region.

  • New parameters for an existing replica. This request invokes the UpdateTable action in the destination Region.

  • An existing replica to be deleted. The request invokes the DeleteTableReplica action in the destination Region, deleting the replica and all if its items in the destination Region.

  • The local replica to be disassociated from a global table and retained as a standalone regional table.

Each ReplicationGroupUpdate contains exactly one action. A Disassociate action must be the only replica update in the request; including other updates causes the request to fail.

Note

When you manually remove a table or global table replica, you do not automatically remove any associated scalable targets, scaling policies, or CloudWatch alarms.
