Description

I noticed that the vtl for response/request mapping templates is embedded in the final cloud formation json. How would I go about using ResponseMappingTemplateS3Location along with RequestMappingTemplateS3Location to use mapping templates stored in s3 rather than embedding in the cloud formation template itself?
It seems that this functionality is not currently supported by the plugin. Are there any plans to support it in the future? This would be a pretty useful feature.

Here is the docs referencing the option to host vtl in s3
Here is someone using this feature when writing the template by hand
