This optional flag available for transit gateway vpn attachments only is very important, looking forward for terraform support

Is there any update on this? Has a few other options that are not currently supported and it's quite important. In the AWS CLI documentation has all of them.

• AWS CLI documentation
  https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ec2/create-vpn-connection.html

Note:
Unfortunately, the Go SDK documentation and the EC2 API documentation are out-dated. Usually, I use the Boto3 documentation or the AWS CLI as a guide (I think the Python one is updated because AWS CLI is based on it).

Go doc: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/ec2/#EC2.CreateVpnConnection
EC2 API doc: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CreateVpnConnection.html
Boto doc: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ec2.html#EC2.Client.create_vpn_connection

Thanks :D
