Resource DynamoDb Error on deploy in another region

[rdehnhardt]

Bug Report

Description

Deploy crashes when I try to deploy in multiple regions.

Ex: An error occurred while provisioning your stack: LocalesDynamoDbTable - locales-dev already exists.

I try use sa-east-1 region! (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/)

Hey @rdehnhardt thanks for opening 👍

Could you please share your serverless.yml file and the steps you took to deploy so that we can dig into this?

Thanks in advance!

Ok. I took another look at your error message.

This seems to be a duplicate of #3183.

I'll close this one since we track the progress in #3183. Feel free to chime in over there 👍.

The root cause of the problem is that your DynamoDB table definition has (very likely) a DeletionPolicy of Retain which prevents it from unprovisioning /removing when removing the stack. You can find more info about it here: #3148 (comment).
