Is it possible to specify Point In Time Recovery for an Amazon DynamoDB table created via CloudFormation? I've been looking through the docs and user guide and haven't found anything useful yet.

Navigate to DynamoDB. In the left navigation, select Tables. Select the desired table and in the Overview section, Enable Point-in-time recovery. Click Enable.
Amazon DynamoDB enables you to back up your table data continuously by using point-in-time recovery (PITR). When you enable PITR, DynamoDB backs up your table data automatically with per-second granularity so that you can restore to any given second in the preceding 35 days.
It can take up to 20 minutes (even if the table is empty) to perform all the actions to create the new table and initiate the restore process. For tables with even data distribution across your primary keys, the restore time is proportional to the largest single partition by item count and not the overall table size.
This is now possible with cloud formation by adding a PointInTimeRecoverySpecification to your cloud formation template.
Example:
Type: 'AWS::DynamoDB::Table'
Properties:
TableName: MyTable
PointInTimeRecoverySpecification:
PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled: true
