Description

To facilitate testing with environments that are security group locked to the private network we port forward as per the instructions here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-sessions-start.html#sessions-remote-port-forwarding

```
aws ssm start-session \
--target instance-id \
--document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSessionToRemoteHost \
--parameters '{"host":["mydb.example.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com"],"portNumber":["3306"], "localPortNumber":["3306"]}'
```

We have a number of services that need to be accessed and we need multiple hosts and ports forwarded via a single SSM tunnel (as we have done in the past with SSH port forwarding).

Is this supported? If not it would be a great addition.

Research direction

No repository file, test, or implementation entry point is named. Start with the linked AWS Systems Manager remote port-forwarding documentation and the current AWS-StartPortForwardingSessionToRemoteHost behavior; done means establishing whether one SSM tunnel can support multiple remote hosts and ports and defining the required behavior if it can.
