Terraform: AWS credentials are validated when only provisioning DynamoDB local.

[carl-youngblood]

If I'm only creating tables in DynamoDB local for tests the AWS provider should not require valid credentials.

provider.tf

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
  access_key = "foo"
  secret_key = "bar"
  dynamodb_endpoint = "http://localhost:80"
}

table.tf

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "test" {
  name = "test"
  read_capacity = 5
  write_capacity = 5
  hash_key = "id"
  attribute {
    name = "id"
    type = "N"
  }
}

Error

Error refreshing state: 1 error(s) occurred:
