DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with scalability. DynamoDB lets you offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling a distributed database. When you use DynamoDB, you don't have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup and configuration, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling.
The pattern uses an AWS CloudFormation template, which creates an Amazon CloudWatch Events event and an AWS Lambda function. The event watches for any new or existing DynamoDB tagging information by using AWS CloudTrail. If a predefined tag is missing or removed, CloudWatch triggers a Lambda function, which sends you an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification informing you of the violation.
