Amazon DynamoDB connections overview

Amazon DynamoDB connections enable you to read data from or write data to Amazon DynamoDB tables. You can use Amazon DynamoDB connections to specify sources and targets in synchronization tasks, mappings, and mapping tasks.
Create a connection and associate it with a synchronization task, mapping, or mapping task. Define the source and target properties to read data from or write data to Amazon DynamoDB tables.
You create an Amazon DynamoDB connection on the Connections page. Use the connection in the Mapping Designer when you create a mapping or in the Synchronization Task wizard when you create a task. You can specify the Amazon DynamoDB connection as source, target, or lookup in the synchronization task and mapping task.
