Inefficient DynamoDB Provisioned capacity
What's the problem
avg utilization < 20% RCU/WCU for 14 days → switch to PAY_PER_REQUEST
How 6WAF detects it
- The threshold and data source are stated in the description above (CloudWatch metrics / AWS API describe calls) — this is the checker logic that runs in the scan, not separate marketing copy.
- Scanning uses a read-only IAM Role you deploy yourself (CloudFormation) — 6WAF stores no credentials, and you revoke access any time by deleting the stack.
- Unit prices used for estimates have a published source and an as-of date (us-east-1 baseline) — figures are a conservative lower bound, not inflated.
Pillar: Cost — waste checks
Group: V2 — Oversize: paying for more than needed
