AWS Tasks json output variables

[97turbotalon]

It would be beneficial to be able to retrieve the json output from AWS tasks so that the information can be used in other Azure devops tasks or saved off and stored in artifacts.

My usecase: use

aws iam get-server-certificate --server-certificate-name $(hostname)

to get the arn of the certificate which is subsequently used in a cloudformation template.

Taking a look into this: are you looking to get a full describe output from some of the existing tasks, or are you looking for a task to explicitly pull metadata on specific resources? The latter would have been difficult to do back when this issue was cut, but we could look to implement a solution with Cloud Control API: the output might not match 1:1 with any solutions you may have homebrewed, but should get you the majority of the metadata.

@97turbotalon @henning-krause , if you're still interested in this, would this sound like an appropriate solution?

@bryceitoc9 I've solved the issue using somehow long ago. I currently don't have any need for this.
