### Setting Up an Amazon Account
<!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-emphasis-as-heading -->
**Login to AWS web console**
* [Sign up](https://aws.amazon.com/) for Amazon AWS.
* Select the AWS region in the [AWS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/) using [these instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsconsolehelpdocs/latest/gsg/getting-started.html#select-region). Note the region identifier in the URL (e.g. `https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=eu-west-1` means that region id is `eu-west-1`).
* **Create user for openHAB with IAM**
* Open Services -> IAM -> Users -> Create new Users. Enter `openhab` to _User names_, keep _Generate an access key for each user_ checked, and finally click _Create_.
* _Show User Security Credentials_ and record the keys displayed
* **Configure user policy to have access for dynamodb**
* Open Services -> IAM -> Policies
* Check _AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess_ and click _Policy actions_ -> _Attach_
* Check the user created in step 2 and click _Attach policy_
<!-- markdownlint-disable-next-line no-emphasis-as-heading -->
**Create policy controlling permissions for AWS user**
1. Open Services -> IAM -> Policies
2. Click _Create policy_
3. Open _JSON_ tab and input the below policy code, describing the permissions needed
**Note:** The below policy assumes that `eu-west-1` region is used, the new table schema is used, and the default table name of `openhab` is used.
Modify the policy accordingly if needed.
**Note 2:** As a more simple alternative, one can use pre-existing policy `AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess`, although the policy grants the openHAB user wider-than-necessary permissions.

Other notes
<!-- markdownlint-disable ul-style -->
- `i` and `t` forms the composite primary key (partition key, sort key) for the table
- Only one of `s` or `n` attributes are specified, not both. Most items are converted to number type for most compact representation.
- Compared to legacy format, data overhead is minimizing by using short attribute names, number timestamps and having only single table.
- `exp` attribute is used with DynamoDB Time To Live (TTL) feature to automatically delete old data
<!-- markdownlint-enable ul-style -->
#### Legacy schema
Configure the addon to use legacy schema by setting `tablePrefix` parameter.
<!-- markdownlint-disable ul-style -->
- When an item is persisted via this service, a table is created (if necessary).
- The service will create at most two tables for different item types.
- The tables will be named `<tablePrefix><item-type>`, where the `<item-type>` is either `bigdecimal` (numeric items) or `string` (string and complex items).
- Each table will have three columns: `itemname` (item name), `timeutc` (in ISO 8601 format with millisecond accuracy), and `itemstate` (either a number or string representing item state).

In case you have not reserved enough capacity for write and/or read, you will notice error messages in openHAB logs.
