### Load credentials from the application's default configuration

```csharp theme={null}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services
        .AddHealthChecks()
        .AddDynamoDb(options =>
        {
            options.RegionEndpoint = RegionEndpoint.EUCentral1;
        });
}
```

### Directly pass credentials

```csharp theme={null}

{
    services
        .AddHealthChecks()
        .AddDynamoDb(options =>
        {
            options.Credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("access-key", "secret-key");
            options.RegionEndpoint = RegionEndpoint.EUCentral1;
        });
}
```
