The port_mappings variable needs to include the "name" parameter to support Service Connect integration.

[ckonefke]

Describe the Feature

I was trying to use a container definition created with this module with an ECS fargate service that includes Service Connect for cross service communication. The Service Connect setup requires a reference to a named port mapping from the container that will be used. From what I can see, there's currently no way to define the name parameter for a containers port mapping.

Expected Behavior

I attempted to add the "name" parameter to the port mapping with a block like this...
port_mappings = [ { name = "http-80-tcp" containerPort = 80 hostPort = 80 protocol = "tcp" }, ]

The mapping was successfully setup, but the "name" parameter was ignored since it's missing from the variable definition.

Use Case

I need a named port mapping to successfully configure Service Connect in our environment. I'm currently trying to find a workaround, but this should be a fairly easy fix.

Describe Ideal Solution

The "name" parameter would be added as an option entry in the port_mappings setting. That way the container would have a properly named port map that could be referred to by the Service Connect setup.

Alternatives Considered

I believe that it's just a matter of adding the "name" parameter as an optional setting for the port_mappings variable
variable "port_mappings" { type = list(object({ name = optional(string) containerPort = number hostPort = number protocol = string }))
