Description

CloudWatch Synthetics was released in an open preview recently to test public websites or API endpoints. Since much of the underlying service is based on Lambda running headless Chrome this shouldn't be an inordinate amount of work but the additional API to integrate it into CloudWatch would be useful to have when this is released since the nature of the service would make it a natural fit for deployment in multiple regions.

Hello, if you don't want to wait for this feature to be merged and you ok to use custom provider, then you might use standalone provider https://github.com/MaksymBilenko/terraform-provider-aws-synthetics

Hi @DrFaust92 @acdha

1. Has the new terraform cloudwatch synthetic capability been released in the new AWS Provider (version 3?)
2. I cant see it in the provider version overviews :)
3. If not - is there a roll out plan?
