## Unsupported databases
### AWS DynamoDB
Amazon Web Services (AWS) DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless, key-value NoSQL database service. While
DynamoDB is not supported by the database secrets engine, you can use the [AWS secrets engine](/vault/docs/secrets/aws)
to provision dynamic credentials capable of accessing DynamoDB.
1. Verify you have the AWS secrets engine enabled and configured.
1. Create a role with the necessary permissions for your users to access DynamoDB. For example:
```shell-session
$ vault write aws/roles/aws-dynamodb-read \
credential_type=iam_user \
policy_document=-<<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"dynamodb:DescribeTable",
"dynamodb:GetItem",
"dynamodb:GetRecords"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-east-1:1234567891:table/example-table"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "dynamodb:ListTables",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
EOF
```
1. Generate dynamic credentials for DynamoDB using the `aws-dynamodb-read` role:
```shell-session
$ vault read aws/creds/aws-dynamodb-read
Key Value
--- -----
lease_id aws/creds/my-role/kbSnl9WSDzOXQerd8GiVh75N.DACNl
lease_duration 1h
lease_renewable true
access_key AKALMNOP123456
secret_key xY4XhS3AsM3s+R33tCaybsT2XI6BVL+vF+khbbYD
security_token <nil>
```
1. Use the dynamic credentials generated by Vault to access DynamoDB. For example, to connect with the
the [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/dynamodb/).
```shell-session
$ aws dynamodb list-tables --region us-east-1
{
"TableNames": [
"example-table"
]
}
```
