**To modify a table's provisioned throughput**

The following ``update-table`` example increases the provisioned read and write capacity on the ``MusicCollection`` table. ::

aws dynamodb update-table \
        --table-name MusicCollection \
        --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=10,WriteCapacityUnits=10

Output::

        "TableDescription": {
            "AttributeDefinitions": [
                {
                    "AttributeName": "Artist",

                }, 
                {
