Updates to CloudFormationResourceSpecification.json? about goformation HOT 2 CLOSED

@parsnips It looks like this is already covered by AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping which was updated on May 24, 2018.

I believe this change is covered here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/ReleaseHistory.html

AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping
The StartingPosition property is no longer required.

This Terraform PR (pr/5024) seems to agree with this assumption as well.

Amazon recently made it possible to have SQS events trigger Lambdas. See: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-lambda-adds-amazon-simple-queue-service-to-supported-event-sources/ for more details.

As part of this they specifically utilize CreateSourceEventMapping to describe the mapping between SQS and Lambda: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-sqs.html

However, as part of this, they changed the StartingPosition message property from required to optional. You can see that it was previous required here: https://web.archive.org/web/20171222204154/https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-lambda-eventsourcemapping.html
