* Returns the current provisioned-capacity limits for your AWS account in a * region, both for the region as a whole and for any one DynamoDB table that * you create there. *
** When you establish an AWS account, the account has initial limits on the * maximum read capacity units and write capacity units that you can provision * across all of your DynamoDB tables in a given region. Also, there are * per-table limits that apply when you create a table there. For more * information, see Limits page in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. *
*
* Although you can increase these limits by filing a case at AWS Support Center,
* obtaining the increase is not instantaneous. The DescribeLimits
* action lets you write code to compare the capacity you are currently using to
* those limits imposed by your account so that you have enough time to apply
* for an increase before you hit a limit.
*
* For example, you could use one of the AWS SDKs to do the following: *
*
* Call DescribeLimits
for a particular region to obtain your
* current account limits on provisioned capacity there.
*
* Create a variable to hold the aggregate read capacity units provisioned for * all your tables in that region, and one to hold the aggregate write capacity * units. Zero them both. *
*
* Call ListTables
to obtain a list of all your DynamoDB tables.
*
* For each table name listed by ListTables
, do the following:
*
* Call DescribeTable
with the table name.
*
* Use the data returned by DescribeTable
to add the read capacity
* units and write capacity units provisioned for the table itself to your
* variables.
*
* If the table has one or more global secondary indexes (GSIs), loop over these * GSIs and add their provisioned capacity values to your variables as well. *
*
* Report the account limits for that region returned by
* DescribeLimits
, along with the total current provisioned
* capacity levels you have calculated.
*
* This will let you see whether you are getting close to your account-level * limits. *
** The per-table limits apply only when you are creating a new table. They * restrict the sum of the provisioned capacity of the new table itself and all * its global secondary indexes. *
** For existing tables and their GSIs, DynamoDB will not let you increase * provisioned capacity extremely rapidly, but the only upper limit that applies * is that the aggregate provisioned capacity over all your tables and GSIs * cannot exceed either of the per-account limits. *
*
* DescribeLimits
should only be called periodically. You can
* expect throttling errors if you call it more than once in a minute.
*
* The DescribeLimits
Request element has no content.
