+description:
+    - Create and manage AWS Datapipelines. Creation is not idempotent in AWS,
+      so the uniqueId is created by hashing the options (minus objects) given to the datapipeline.
+
+      The pipeline definition must be in the format given here
+      U(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/latest/APIReference/API_PutPipelineDefinition.html#API_PutPipelineDefinition_RequestSyntax).
+
+      Also operations will wait for a configurable amount
+      of time to ensure the pipeline is in the requested state.
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - The name of the Datapipeline to create/modify/delete.
+    required: true
+  description:
+    description:
+      - An optional description for the pipeline being created.
+    default: ''
+  objects:
+    description:
+      - A list of pipeline object definitions, each of which is a dict that takes the keys C(id), C(name) and C(fields).
+    suboptions:
+      id:
+        description:
+          - The ID of the object.
+      name:
+        description:
+          - The name of the object.
+      fields:
+        description:
+          - A list of dicts that take the keys C(key) and C(stringValue)/C(refValue).
+            The value is specified as a reference to another object C(refValue) or as a string value C(stringValue)
+            but not as both.
+  parameters:
+    description:
+      - A list of parameter objects (dicts) in the pipeline definition.
+    suboptions:
+      id:
+        description:
+          - The ID of the parameter object.
+      attributes:
+        description:
+          - A list of attributes (dicts) of the parameter object. Each attribute takes the keys C(key) and C(stringValue) both
+            of which are strings.
+  values:
+    description:
+      - A list of parameter values (dicts) in the pipeline definition. Each dict takes the keys C(id) and C(stringValue) both
+        of which are strings.
+  timeout:
+    description:
+      - Time in seconds to wait for the pipeline to transition to the requested state, fail otherwise.
+    default: 300
+  state:
+    description:
+      - The requested state of the pipeline.
+    choices: ['present', 'absent', 'active', 'inactive']
+    default: present
+  tags:
+    description:
+      - A dict of key:value pair(s) to add to the pipeline.
