We then discussed how to make use of the table's primary key attributes and secondary index key attributes while querying that DynamoDB table. We also discussed how to change the region (or location) in which DynamoDB has to perform its operation. We saw how to download the AWS command-line tool and its configuration setup in our local system. Then we executed a few commands through the command-line interface, which performed the same DynamoDB operations as performed...
