Ensure DynamoDB tables use appropriate capacity mode
Tables should use on-demand or provisioned capacity based on workload patterns.
Security Impact
Incorrect capacity mode can lead to throttling or unnecessary costs.
How to Remediate
Use on-demand for unpredictable workloads; provisioned with auto-scaling for predictable loads.
