AWS cli: DynamoDB restore-table-from-backup: document disassociation protection

Service: cli · 2026-10-21 · Documentation medium

File: cli/latest/reference/dynamodb/restore-table-from-backup.md

Summary

AWS CLI reference version bump 2.38.2 -> 2.38.3, plus new TableDescription documentation for DisassociationProtectionEnabled (default enabled) and a note on confirming replica disassociation via an empty list and ACTIVE TableStatus.

Security assessment

Documents a protection flag that guards against accidental disassociation of a global table replica; it is a safety/hardening control with availability impact rather than a fix for a specific vulnerability, and no CVE or auth/encryption change appears in the diff.

Evidence

> DisassociationProtectionEnabled -> (boolean)
