Error: dynamodb cannot create preexisting table
What's Causing This Error
You may run into this error if you are trying to create a table with the same name within the same region.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error, try any of the following ways:
- Check the list of tables in your DynamoDB service using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the
