Setup DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) - Documentation is WRONG

0

Hello,

Im trying to setup DAX to handle caching for our DynamoDB logic for our existing kubernetes cluster.

However, when I follow the guides, they are incomplete.

From official doc here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DAX.create-cluster.console.create-subnet-group.html

  1. Open the **DynamoDB **console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/.
  2. In the navigation pane, under DAX, choose Subnet groups.

However there are NO such thing as "DAX" under DynamoDB. There is simply create table etc. When I search DAX in the console, I get no hits.

How exactly am I to understand how this is to be done when the official guide itself isnt correct?

Same with guides I've found, they simply do not align with how it looks in real life.

Help much appreciated since our Prod enviroment is in dire need of this ASAP. Kind regards Olle

You do not see DAX as Stockholm is not a region which DAX is currently available. Use a compatible region like Dublin and you will be able to follow the example correctly.

DAX is now available in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), South America (São Paulo), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Regions.
