Add Descriptions to authorize-security-group-ingress CloudShell command

[mpetersen71]

Trying to Standardize on our Security Groups across all of our AWS accounts and am having trouble trying to add descriptions to the Rules. Here is an example of what I am trying:

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id $SECURITY_GROUP_ID --protocol tcp --port 135 --cidr 10.0.0.0/8 --description "Allow Remote Procedure Call RPC on 10. (TCP/135)"

Apparently there is no --description option?? If this is so, how do you add a description when creating the Rule in CloudShell?

I was able to do the same thing with the Description by using the --ip-permissions option:

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id $SECURITY_GROUP_ID --ip-permissions "IpProtocol=tcp,FromPort=135,ToPort=135,IpRanges=[{CidrIp=10.0.0.0/8,Description="Allow Remote Procedure Call RPC on 10. (TCP/135)"}]" --no-cli-pager

Since this is not very "Command Line Friendly" - any plans on simply adding a --description option to the aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress command?
