DynamoDB - Security and Access Control

Analyze the following IAM policy snippet:

{
  "Effect": "Allow",
  "Action": ["dynamodb:PutItem", "dynamodb:DeleteItem"],
  "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:123456789012:table/Customers"
}

Which DynamoDB operations does this policy permit?

AOnly reading items from the Customers table

BFull access to all DynamoDB tables in the account

CUpdating items in the Customers table

DAdding and removing items from the Customers table

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify the Actions
The policy specifies "dynamodb:PutItem" and "dynamodb:DeleteItem" which correspond to adding and deleting items respectively.
Step 2: Check the Resource
The resource is limited to the "Customers" table in the us-west-2 region, so only that table is affected.
Final Answer:
Adding and removing items from the Customers table -> Option D
Quick Check:
Actions match adding/removing items, resource is specific [OK]

Quick Trick: Actions define allowed operations, Resource limits scope [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Assuming 'PutItem' allows reading items
Confusing 'DeleteItem' with updating items
Ignoring the Resource ARN specificity
