Starting AWS DMS Replication Task in Terraform

Question

Is there any way to start an AWS Database Migration Service full-load-and-cdc replication task through Terraform ? Preferably, this would start automatically upon creation of the task.

The AWS DMS console provides an option to " Start task on create ", and the AWS CLI provides a start-replication-task command, but I'm not seeing similar options in the Terraform resources . The aws_dms_replication_task provides the cdc_start_time argument, but I think this may apply only to cdc tasks. I've tried setting this argument to a number of past/current/future timestamps with my full-load-and-cdc replication task, but the task never started (it was merely created and entered the ready state).

I'd be glad to log a feature request to Terraform if this feature is not supported, but wanted to check with the community first to see if I was overlooking an existing way to do this today.

(Note: This question has also been logged to the Terraform Google group .)
