It's a PITA to delete all items in an AWS DynamoDB table without deleting the table. 
True, you can delete and re-create the table, but resource ARNs will change (like DyanmoDB Streams), which 
can disrupt other resources depending on those ARNs.

I found https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamodb-empty which does (most of) the job. 
Note: 

1. The README there is wrong, as of this writing. The correct syntax is:

$ dynamodb-empty --table {tablename}

for ((i=9; i>0; i--)) ; do

  mv $VLED.$i $VLED.$j
done
mv $VLED $VLED.1

Create a lot of snaps, serially or in parallel:
snaps-create.sh
======================
#!/bin/bash
set -x
VOLUME=$1
NUMSNAPS=$2
PARALLEL=$3
echo Creating $NUMSNAPS snapshots on volume $VOLUME
if [ -n "$PARALLEL" ]; then

When I deploy a new machine N (such as a Eucalyptus test node) I want to log into from my machine M, 
here's what I do to set up passwordless logins, get my personal .bashrc on the system, 
and set up the prompt so I know what machine I'm talking to.

One-time setup:
---------------

On machine M:

Add your id_rsa.pub and id_rsa files to your ~/.ssh directory.
