In the process of migrating a couple of legacy applications to ec2, we are faced with the challenge of storing multiple application configuration parameters individually. The goal is to have separate parameters for each application.
The current approach seems to be appending all values to a single parameter per application. Here's what we're trying:
locals {
application = {
"application1" = { app_shortcode = "app1"},
"application2" = { app_shortcode = "app2"}
}
resource "aws_ssm_parameter" "application_parameters" {
for_each = local.application
name = each.key
value = jsonencode(file("${path.module}/${each.key}/ssm_param.json"))
}
For example, the contents of ssm_param.json for app1 look like this:
{
"app1_config1": "config_value_1",
"app1_config2": "config_value_2",
"app1_config3": "config_value_3"
}
And for app2, it's as follows:
{
"app2_config_a": "config_value_a",
"app2_config_b": "config_value_b",
"app2_config_c": "config_value_c"
}
Currently, the output combines all configurations into a single parameter for each application. We're seeking suggestions on how to achieve the desired outcome.
