• generate – compose or refresh tables/NNN/table.yml (comment-preserving)
• validate – compare generated sections against the resolved EM
• create – create table from YAML (validate or refresh generated sections)
• delete – delete table (waiter)
• purge – scan and delete all items

Comment-preserving YAML

  • AttributeDefinitions
  • KeySchema
  • GlobalSecondaryIndexes
• All other Properties and comments are preserved.
