Amazon DynamoDB global tables now supports Amazon CloudFormation, which means you can create global tables and manage their settings with Amazon CloudFormation templates. Global tables build upon the global footprint of DynamoDB to deliver a fully managed, multi-region, multi-source database. You can use global tables to replicate table updates automatically across the Amazon Web Services China Regions you select, and you can set up global tables at any time with just a few clicks in the Amazon Web Services Management Console or by using the Amazon SDK.

This feature is now available in in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD.
