The AWS Construct Library for the AWS CDK provides widely-implemented idioms to manage access to your cloud resources. The IAM module offers tools to provide various IAM principals with authenticated access to AWS resources. Certain resource constructs within the Construct Library have built-in methods to grant commonly used permissions to other resources, i.e. read and write access.
In this lab, you will work with the IAM module to create an IAM Role with DynamoDB permissions. You will also work with the DynamoDB construct method to grant access to a Lambda function you create.
