Rules can't be created with trigger and periodic invocation about aws-config-rdk

Reopening, as it turns out this approach is (ironically) incompatible with supporting deployment of Managed Rules.

I don't think you're missing anything, this is something I need to address in the CFN template used to deploy the rule. I'll take a look and push something out in the next few days.

That would be fantastic. For now, I just over-rode it in the console but would be good to have this all in the CFN

We had a debate about this with the service team, and ultimately decided that the best practice is to not have a single rule that handles both periodic and event-driven logic in the same rule. From conversations with other customers and users, the amount of additional complexity makes testing to make sure your rule is doing what you want it to a lot harder and there's a higher risk that you won't have the compliance assurance that you think you do. Closing this issue, but if you disagree strongly I'm happy to have the conversation.

This has now been added by PR #81, and pushed to PyPi. Thanks!
