Cloudformation-coverage-roadmap: AWS::SSM::Document-Attachments

[san-san]

Title

AWS::SSM::Document-Attachments

Scope of request

AWS::SSM::Document-Attachments to allow for attachments and scripts to be added to SSM automation documents

Expected behaviour

"Attachments" attribute needs to be added to the AWS::SSM::Document resource type when it is created. This is currently supported when creating SSM documents via CLI and API

The Attachments attribute should be an array of AttachmentsSource objects

Use case

When creating an SSM automation document to run packer (similar to AWS-RunPacker), the binary needs to be attached to the document via an "Attachments" attribute. Currently, this cannot be achieved using CloudFormation.

This is already in the source code of the resource provider (https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-resource-providers-ssm/blob/master/aws-ssm-document/aws-ssm-document.json#L87),
but not in the released resource (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-ssm-document.html)

Does this mean that it hasn't been released / made public yet? I tried to use the property but it is showing as an unsupported. Do we know when this change will be available to support attachments?
