This folder includes all the templates in this repository that are deployable via AWS CloudFormation. Each solution has a dedicated folder that contains a deployable CloudFormation template, along with a README.md file that explains the purpose of the template.
The global_tables folder contains a CloudFormation template that demonstrates how to set up a DynamoDB Global Table. DynamoDB Global Tables provide a fully managed solution for deploying a single, global database that offers low-latency access to data for globally distributed applications. Features
- Multi-Region Replication: The Global Table is automatically replicated across multiple AWS Regions, ensuring low-latency access to data for users worldwide.
- Automatic Failover: In the event of a regional outage, the Global Table automatically fails over to another Region, maintaining high availability for your application.
- Seamless Application Integration: Your application can access the Global Table using the standard DynamoDB API, without any additional complexity.

- Navigate to the global-tables folder.
