• ~/.aws/credentials
• ~/.aws/config
• Environment variables
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

$ dynamin --help

Example

Minimize a table.

$ dynamin -t users

Minimize tables tagged with the specified keys and values.
Dynamin follows the tag filter syntax of Resource Groups Tagging API.
So the following minimizes tables tagged with (stage=dev or stage=test) and (type=web).

$ dynamin --tags key=stage,values=dev,test key=type,values=web

Capacity unit values will be stored in a JSON file located in ~/.config/configstore/dynamin.json.
You can restore the values by the following command.

$ dynamin --restore
