What's the difference between `aws.iam.RolePolicy` and `aws.iam.Policy`? Does `RolePolicy` automatically do the policy attachment?

Just for reference for others (it seems have figured it out, right?):
A `RolePolicy` is the inline policy inside the referenced IAM role, whereas the `Policy` is a managed policy which you then need to attach via a `RolePolicyAttachment` to the `role`.

That resources are all based on the underlying resources in the Terraform provider. They are mostly designed to match the underlying API objects, here AWS.

Thanks for raising this to the `awsx` repository. <https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C84L4E3N1/p1552081001328900?thread_ts=1552080950.328200&amp;cid=C84L4E3N1>
