aws_autoscaling: cannot create cloudwatch events

[samyak-jain]

Describe the feature

In the documentation, under future work, the following is written:

CloudWatch Events (impossible to add currently as the AutoScalingGroup ARN is necessary to make this rule and this cannot be accessed from CloudFormation).

I can see that we have been able to access autoScalingGroupArn in the CDK for a while now. I would love to know if we are unblocked on implementing this now.

Use Case

My use case is to have certain events from my ASG trigger a lambda function using eventbridge. Any time a new instance is created under the ASG, I want to update a VPC origin with ARN of the new instance.

Proposed Solution

Sounds like it's very likely possible. Are you able to create a simple test to validate that? If it does work, we welcome any PRs to clarify this. Thank you.
