Description

Since the support of Point-in-Time-Revocery added with #4063, it is now possible to save continuous backups via Terraform, but restoring them is still only possible through the Console or AWS API. It would be great to be able to also restore a dynamodb_table as a new resource created from the latest restorable time or a specific restorable time, similarly to what can be done with the snapshot_identifier for rds instances

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_dynamodb_table

Potential Terraform Configuration

An example usage in a DynamoDB module would possible look like this:

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "default" {
  name           = "example"
  hash_key       = "${var.hash_key}"
  range_key      = "${var.range_key}"

  point_in_time_recovery {
    restore_date_time = "${var.point_in_time_recovery_date_time}"
  }
