Creating new FSx with HDD storagetype in CF

Question

Hello,  
  
We have really been looking forward to the HDD storage-type and now with it being launched we want to try this out and migrate to FSx from our legacy fileshares.  
  
However when reading the CF-documentation here:  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-fsx-filesystem.html  
  
I can see it mentions:

```
For Windows file systems:
If StorageType=SSD, valid values are 32 GiB - 65,536 GiB (64 TiB).
If StorageType=HDD, valid values are 2000 GiB - 65,536 GiB (64 TiB).
```

however neither in "AWS::FSx::FileSystem" or in "AWS::FSx::FileSystem WindowsConfiguration" I can find where to specify that parameter to set the FSx resource to the HDD storage-type.  
  
A blocker for us to launch FSx using the HDD-option, would appreciate assistance / how and where to specify storagetype to HDD.  
  
Best Regards - TheSwede86

Heard it was going to be fixed / added soon so I'm closing this.

Hello,  
  
You can now create HDD file systems using AWS CloudFormation. See the updated Amazon FSx CloudFormation documentation for more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-fsx-filesystem.html  
  
Best wishes,
