Only publish editable table if editable table data has changed

Currently, editable tables publish to 'normal' tables regardless if the data has changed within the editable or not and this causes a check-in. It would be more efficient if the editable table only published when the data in that editable table ha...

Request for ec2 permissions be added: DescribeInstances permission to be provided for all AWS linked accounts, which would be needed to determine whether a given instance was explicitly terminated.
