Description

It's vital to be able to pass any additional property via a Partition configuration and able to configure an IaaS provider dynamically. These additional properties would not be validated.

One such use case is to provide a VPC subnet id in AWS EC2 via a Partition configuration. In VPC subnet id case, they are dependent on the availability zone. With this improvement you can define a Partition per an availability zone and pass the subnet id too along with it.

{
"id": "P1",
"provider": "ec2",
"property": [

{ "name": "region", "value": "REGION" }

,

{ "name": "zone", "value": "AVAILABILITY_ZONE" }

,

{ "name": "subnetId", "value": "SUBNET_ID" }

]
}

Another use case would be to pass a docker host machine endpoint url via a Partition definition.
