Task for waiting on a long-running AWS job

Uses the underlying boto3 waiter functionality.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
client	str	The AWS client on which to wait (e.g., 'client_wait', 'ec2', etc).	required
waiter_name	str	The name of the waiter to instantiate. You may also use a custom waiter name, if you supply an accompanying waiter definition dict.	required
aws_credentials	AwsCredentials	Credentials to use for authentication with AWS.	required
waiter_definition	Optional[Dict[str, Any]]	A valid custom waiter model, as a dict. Note that if you supply a custom definition, it is assumed that the provided 'waiter_name' is contained within the waiter definition dict.	None
**waiter_kwargs	Optional[Dict[str, Any]]	Arguments to pass to the waiter.wait(...) method. Will depend upon the specific waiter being called.	{}

Examples:

Run an ec2 waiter until instance_exists.
