The Change DynamoDB Tables action can be used to make changes to one or more DynamoDB tables, such as the read and/or write capacity of the table. Later, it can (optionally) be changed back.

For example, at 8am, a table's read capacity can be upgraded from 10 reads per second to 20 reads per second, then 8 hours later, it can be reverted back to it's original capacity of 10 reads per second.

Please see Common Action Settings for a description of settings common to all action types.
