Question: Is DynamoDB table region specific?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, a DynamoDB table is specific to a particular region. When you create a table, you must specify the region in which the table will be created. Once a table is created, it cannot be moved to a different region.If you need to access the same table from multiple regions, you can create a global table, which replicates the table across multiple regions.
