The new aws_dynamodb_global_secondary_index resource treats each GSI as an independent resource with its own lifecycle management. You can use this feature to make capacity adjustments for GSI and tables outside of Terraform. In this post, I demonstrate how to use Terraform’s new aws_dynamodb_global_secondary_index resource to manage GSI drift selectively. I walk you through the limitations of current approaches and guide you through implementing the solution.
