describe_global_table_settings(**kwargs)¶Describes Region-specific settings for a global table.
Warning
This operation only applies to Version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) of global tables. We recommend using Version 2019.11.21 (Current) when creating new global tables, as it provides greater flexibility, higher efficiency and consumes less write capacity than 2017.11.29 (Legacy). To determine which version you are using, see Determining the version. To update existing global tables from version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) to version 2019.11.21 (Current), see Updating global tables.

Response Structure
The name of the global table.
The Region-specific settings for the global table.
Represents the properties of a replica.
The Region name of the replica.
The current state of the Region:
CREATING - The Region is being created.UPDATING - The Region is being updated.DELETING - The Region is being deleted.ACTIVE - The Region is ready for use.The read/write capacity mode of the replica.
Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.
PROVISIONED - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PROVISIONED . We recommend using PROVISIONED for predictable workloads.PAY_PER_REQUEST - Sets the read/write capacity mode to PAY_PER_REQUEST . We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for unpredictable workloads.Represents the time when PAY_PER_REQUEST was last set as the read/write capacity mode.
The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . For more information, see Specifying Read and Write Requirements in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
Auto scaling settings for a global table replica's read capacity units.
The minimum capacity units that a global table or global secondary index should be scaled down to.
The maximum capacity units that a global table or global secondary index should be scaled up to.
Disabled auto scaling for this global table or global secondary index.
Role ARN used for configuring the auto scaling policy.
Information about the scaling policies.
Represents the properties of the scaling policy.
The name of the scaling policy.
Represents a target tracking scaling policy configuration.
Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking policy is disabled. If the value is true, scale in is disabled and the target tracking policy won't remove capacity from the scalable resource. Otherwise, scale in is enabled and the target tracking policy can remove capacity from the scalable resource. The default value is false.
The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale in activity completes before another scale in activity can start. The cooldown period is used to block subsequent scale in requests until it has expired. You should scale in conservatively to protect your application's availability. However, if another alarm triggers a scale out policy during the cooldown period after a scale-in, application auto scaling scales out your scalable target immediately.
The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale out activity completes before another scale out activity can start. While the cooldown period is in effect, the capacity that has been added by the previous scale out event that initiated the cooldown is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale out. You should continuously (but not excessively) scale out.
The target value for the metric. The range is 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2).
The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a ThrottlingException . For more information, see Specifying Read and Write Requirements in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
