You can achieve this using a locals or dynamic block

container_definitions = {
nginx = {
image = "nginx:latest"
port_mappings = [
{
protocol = "tcp",
containerPort = 80
}
]
environment = [
{
name = "ENV",
value = var.environment
}
]
},
aws-otel-collector = {
image = "public.ecr.aws/aws-observability/aws-otel-collector:v0.40.2",
port_mappings = [
{
"containerPort" : 2000,
"protocol" : "udp"
}
]
},
appconfig-agent = {
image = "public.ecr.aws/aws-appconfig/aws-appconfig-agent:2.x",
port_mappings = [
{
"containerPort" : 2772,
"protocol" : "tcp"
}
]
}
}

container_definitions = local.container_definitions
