Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for Amazon DynamoDB now supports Amazon CloudFormation for DynamoDB global tables, which means you can enable streaming to an Amazon Kinesis data stream on your DynamoDB global tables with CloudFormation templates. By streaming your DynamoDB data changes to a Kinesis data stream, you can build advanced streaming applications with Amazon Kinesis services. For example, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics reduces the complexity of building, managing, and integrating with Apache Flink and provides built-in functions to filter, aggregate, and transform streaming data for advanced analytics. You also can use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to take advantage of managed streaming delivery of DynamoDB table data to other Amazon Web Services services such as Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon S3.
Global tables build on the global Amazon DynamoDB footprint to provide you with a fully managed, multi-Region, and multi-active database that delivers fast, local, read and write performance for massively scaled, global applications. Global tables replicate your DynamoDB tables automatically across your choice of Amazon Web Service Regions.
CloudFormation support for KDSD in Global tables is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
