Description
Auto-scaling DynamoDB tables are neat - they enable you to handle scaling workloads with DynamoDB without losing money overprovisioning your table, and can be more cost effective than by-request pricing in some cases. Unfortunately, they're kinda a pain to set up - they require including several additional resources, including IAM roles.
It'd be nice to have a cloudfriend shortcut which can handle generation of the scaling scaffolding for you, exposing just the min/max and scaling threshold parameters needed to configure autoscaling.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading existing cloudfriend shortcuts and the CloudFormation resources they generate, then trace how related IAM and scaling resources are assembled. Done means a shortcut exposes minimum, maximum, and scaling-threshold parameters and generates the required DynamoDB autoscaling scaffolding.
