Error: boto3 dynamodb client error
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This is a common issue with DynamoDB and boto3. There are several reasons for this error:
- Incorrectly configured AWS credentials.
- Incorrectly specifying the endpoint or region for the DynamoDB service.
- Attempting to perform an action on a table that does not exist.
- Performing an action that requires a specific IAM permission that the user doesn't have.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
There is no specific way to fix this issue. In general, you can fix it by:
- Verifying the client configuration.
- Verifying the table name.
- Ensuring that your IAM Role or User has the correct permissions
