   • Click on "Launch Instance" and choose your preferred OS.

2. Choose an IAM Role:

   • When configuring your instance, select an IAM role that has the necessary DynamoDB permissions.

3. Review and Launch:

   • Review your settings. Then click "Launch" to start your instance.

• AWS Integration: Fully integrated with AWS services for seamless access to DynamoDB.
• User-Friendly: No technical knowledge required for installation and use.
