Not sure what you mean, DDB provides both strong and eventual consistency, now in 2 fashions with transactions. 3 if you include cross region replication.

There's definitely still a DHT sitting under there.

No, it's something like a hash-partitioned primary-backup-replicated distributed database. S3 is much closer to a DHT.

There's no real difference between a DHT (distributed hash table) and a hash-partitioned distributed database. It's the same concept. Apache Cassandra is considered an implementation of a DHT.
