Control plane operations let you create and manage DynamoDB tables. They also let you work with indexes, streams, and other objects that are dependent on tables.

CreateTable – Creates a new table. Optionally, you can create one or more secondary indexes, and enable DynamoDB Streams for the table.

DescribeTable– Returns information about a table, such as its primary key schema, throughput settings, and index information.

ListTables – Returns the names of all of your tables in a list.

UpdateTable – Modifies the settings of a table or its indexes, creates or removes new indexes on a table, or modifies DynamoDB Streams settings for a table.

DeleteTable – Removes a table and all of its dependent objects from DynamoDB.

The control plane is the set of components that manage the overall state of the cluster, including the API server, etcd datastore, controller manager, and the kube-scheduler.
