Ddb table autoscaling enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of DynamoDB tables not having autoscaling enabled in AWS using AWS CLI, follow these steps:

List all the DynamoDB tables in your AWS account to identify which tables do not have autoscaling enabled:

aws dynamodb list-tables

For each table that does not have autoscaling enabled, update the table to enable autoscaling using the following command:

aws dynamodb update-table \
    --table-name YOUR_TABLE_NAME \
    --billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST \
    --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityAutoScalingSettings={MinimumCapacity=1,MaximumCapacity=100,AutoScalingDisabled=false,TargetTrackingScalingPolicy={TargetValue=70.0,PredefinedMetricSpecification={PredefinedMetricType=DynamoDBReadCapacityUtilization}}},WriteCapacityAutoScalingSettings={MinimumCapacity=1,MaximumCapacity=100,AutoScalingDisabled=false,TargetTrackingScalingPolicy={TargetValue=70.0,PredefinedMetricSpecification={PredefinedMetricType=DynamoDBWriteCapacityUtilization}}}

Replace YOUR_TABLE_NAME with the name of the DynamoDB table that you want to enable autoscaling for.

Verify that autoscaling is enabled for the DynamoDB table by describing the table and checking the BillingMode and ProvisionedThroughput settings:

aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name YOUR_TABLE_NAME

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of DynamoDB tables not having autoscaling enabled in AWS using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of DynamoDB tables not having autoscaling enabled in AWS using Python, follow these steps:

Import the necessary libraries:

import boto3

Initialize the DynamoDB client:

dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb')

List all the DynamoDB tables:

response = dynamodb.list_tables()
tables = response['TableNames']

Enable autoscaling for each table:

for table_name in tables:
    response = dynamodb.update_table(
        TableName=table_name,
        ProvisionedThroughput={
            'ReadCapacityUnits': 5,  # Set your desired read capacity units
            'WriteCapacityUnits': 5  # Set your desired write capacity units
        },
        BillingMode='PROVISIONED',  # Set the billing mode to PROVISIONED
        GlobalSecondaryIndexUpdates=[
            {
                'Update': {
                    'IndexName': 'string',
                    'ProvisionedThroughput': {
                        'ReadCapacityUnits': 5,  # Set your desired read capacity units
                        'WriteCapacityUnits': 5  # Set your desired write capacity units
                    }
                }
            },
        ],
        StreamSpecification={
            'StreamEnabled': False
        },
        SSESpecification={
            'Enabled': False
        },
        TimeToLiveSpecification={
            'Enabled': False
        },
        BillingMode='PAY_PER_REQUEST'  # Set the billing mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST for autoscaling
    )

Replace the placeholder values like 'ReadCapacityUnits': 5 and 'WriteCapacityUnits': 5 with your desired values for read and write capacity units.
Run the Python script to enable autoscaling for all DynamoDB tables.

By following these steps and running the Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of DynamoDB tables not having autoscaling enabled in AWS.
