Description

The Dyno factory only supports a small subset of the available AWS configuration options because it plucks certain properties from the options hash and passes them into the AWS.DynamoDB constructor.

This is problematic for consumers wishing to have fine-grain control over the behavior of the AWS SDK.

Dyno should support using a custom AWS.Config instance to configure the AWS SDK.

Research direction

Start in index.js at the Dyno factory around lines 35, 66, and 77, then review how options are currently selected for AWS.DynamoDB. Define how a supplied AWS.Config instance should be accepted while preserving the existing configuration path, and verify that Dyno passes the custom configuration to the AWS SDK.
