You can perform a service **operation** by calling the method of the same name on the client object. For example, to perform the `Amazon DynamoDB DescribeTable operation `_, you must call the ``Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient::describeTable()`` method. Operation methods, like ``describeTable()``, all accept a single argument that is an associative array of values representing the parameters to the operation. The structure of this array is defined for each operation in the SDK's `API Documentation `_ (e.g., see the `API docs for describeTable() `_). .. code-block:: php $result = $dynamoDbClient->describeTable(array( 'TableName' => 'YourTableName', ));
