How to pass firelensConfiguration to an ecs_taskdefinition?

[threewordphrase]

Summary

I am trying to use the ecs_taskdefinition module to replicate a fluentd logging setup I currently have in production. I see where all of the options I need are, except I do not see how I can set firelensConfiguration on my fluentd sidecar container. Here is the JSON for my taskdefinition.

"cpu": ...,
"memory": ...,
"firelensConfiguration": {
        "type": "fluentd",
        "options": {
          "config-file-type": "file",
          "enable-ecs-log-metadata": "true",
          "config-file-value": "/fluentd/etc/fluent.conf"
        }
      },

How can I do this with the ansible module?

@threewordphrase Thank you for raising this. Unfortunately, this option doesn't seem to be document. However, it should work if you specify it as a suboption of containers, something like this:

- name: Create task definition
  community.aws.ecs_taskdefinition:
    family: nginx
    containers:
    - name: '...'
      essential: true
      image: "..."
      portMappings:
      - containerPort: 8080
         hostPort: 8080
      cpu: 512
      memory: 1024
      firelensConfiguration:
        type: "fluentd"
        options:
          "config-file-type": "file"
          "enable-ecs-log-metadata": "true"
          "config-file-value": "/fluentd/etc/fluent.conf"

Can you please try it and let us know? Would you be interested opening a pull request to update the module's documentation or add any patch wether necessary?

Looks like it worked! I did not know that I could pass extra options through to ECS like that. Thank you for your help @alinabuzachis
