Example 5: To register a task using a maintenance windows target ID

The following register-task-with-maintenance-window example registers a task using a maintenance window target ID. The maintenance window target ID was in the output of the aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window command. You can also retrieve it from the output of the aws ssm describe-maintenance-window-targets command.
