Summary

Added PowerShell V5 examples for creating DynamoDB tables with primary keys and local secondary indexes, including MREC/MRSC global table references

Security assessment

The changes demonstrate table creation syntax and schema configuration without addressing security controls, encryption, access policies, or vulnerability mitigation. The MREC/MRSC references relate to replication consistency models rather than security features.
