cli-input-json support for aws cloudformation deploy

[hauntingEcho]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, aws cloudformation deploy does not accept cli-input-json.

Describe the solution you'd like
Being able to pass the same configuration file to both CodePipeline and aws cloudformation deploy --cli-input-json (edit: defined here)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently we are maintaining both the input file for codepipeline deployment and a shell script to call aws cloudformation deploy with the necessary parameters.

Hi @hauntingEcho,

Thanks for the comment. I'm wondering if some pending improvements to the CloudFormation deploy operation would solve your use case:

#5443

[hauntingEcho]

my understanding is that that PR only affects the behavior of --parameter-overrides, and does not support the 'tags' or 'StackPolicy' section of a template configuration file: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/continuous-delivery-codepipeline-cfn-artifacts.html

I think there is overlap here with this request: #5316
