Various AWS SSM Providers parameters are missing arguments

[jimsmith]

Hi,

So using latest terraform 0.11.1 following the documentation to create a SSM AWS maintenance window task:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/ssm_maintenance_window_task.html

The following is not supported by Terraform, taken from AWS Documentation CLI:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ssm/register-task-with-maintenance-window.html

[--name <value>]
[--description <value>]

These are required so the tasks have meaningful names and descriptions.

Additionally I have noticed that Comment & Timedout (seconds) there doesn't appear to be any supported arguments to get these populated into AWS

TimeoutSeconds
Comment

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/sysman-maintenance-walk.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ssm/update-maintenance-window-task.html

Also I note that when running terraform apply (with no changes) resources get (new resource required) which gives the user the 'impression' the resources are being destroyed and then re-created..... however infact the same AWS resources exist and remain..... this is a bug as this shouldn't happen equally when updating parameters shouldn't re-create as AWS has the update maintenance window task.

The below AWS CLI allows me to add in Comment and TimeoutSeconds:

aws --profile jim --region eu-west-2 ssm update-maintenance-window-task \
--window-id mw-0a1faf6cb61b24a68 \
--window-task-id 40e3ae25-daae-4b63-9539-2129fde69618 \
--task-invocation-parameters "RunCommand={Comment=A_Comment,TimeoutSeconds=900}"

Adding that: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/ssm_maintenance_window.html
doesn't have support for description

[jimsmith]

Adding that: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/ssm_maintenance_window_target.html
doesn't have support for Target Name nor description
