Copying one table to another in DynamoDB

Question

What\'s the best way to identically copy one table over to a new one in DynamoDB?

(I\'m not worried about atomicity).

Answer 1

AWS Pipeline provides a template which can be used for this purpose: "CrossRegion DynamoDB Copy"

See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/latest/DeveloperGuide/dp-crossregion-ddb-create.html

The result is a simple pipeline that looks like:

Although it's called CrossRegion you can easily use it for the same region as long the destination table name is different (Remember that table names are unique per account and region)
