<p><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Introduction.html">Amazon DynamoDB</a> global tables now support disassociating a replica without deleting its table or data. Global tables provide fully managed, multi-Region, multi-active replication. You can now stop replication to and from a replica and continue using the same table as a single-Region table.</p> <p>An account can leave a shared multi-account global table and continue using its table independently. You can also stop replication to a Region while keeping its table for local workloads, validation, or audit, without creating a replacement table or copying data.</p> <p>DynamoDB supports disassociating replicas in all AWS Regions for same-account and multi-account global tables that use multi-Region eventual consistency (MREC).</p> <p>To get started, use the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, DynamoDB API, or AWS CloudFormation. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/globaltables-disassociate.html">Disassociating replicas</a> in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.</p>
