DynamoDB tables should automatically scale capacity with demand
NIST
Description
This control checks whether an Amazon DynamoDB table can scale its read and write capacity as needed. It passes if the table uses either on-demand capacity mode or provisioned mode with auto scaling configured.
Remediation
To enable DynamoDB automatic scaling on existing tables, configure the table to use either on-demand capacity mode or provisioned mode with auto scaling.
Steps
- Open the DynamoDB console.
- Select the table and modify its capacity settings.
- Choose either 'On-demand' or 'Provisioned' with auto scaling enabled.
