I would be very interested in this addition as well. I am totally new (with ansible in general), but i would be willing to give it a shot to try to contribute. |

@tremble many thanks for the feedback. I'll watch the other PR then. Since i would be a first time contributer and new to the topic, do you think, i would be able to tackle this? |

Some of the dynamodb code isn't exactly the most "beginner friendly" (avoid looking too deep into the index/attributes pieces). However, hopefully with the way it's written in 726 adding support to manage "BillingMode" would be a relatively simple change. |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Interface:
The
read_capacityandwrite_capacityfields default to 1.I feel like semantically it would be nice to default to PAY_PER_REQUEST if both read and write capacity were omitted. Although that might be considered a backwards incompatible change.
Alternatively, what if the capacity fields accept a string like "PAY_PER_REQUEST"? Or we add an additional field?
