Does anyone know if the 256 character limit for the value is in place like in ECS? Super annoying.

  You could probably split longer data into multiple variables and concatenate them, but maybe having such large environment variables is a sign that you might be better served with a different mechanism. For example, instead of passing in a big JSON blob, one could split the JSON keys into separate environment variables.

    I wanted to add a 2K public key, could be split up but annoying solution. Used a IAM role with rights to an S3 object in the end.

      If you can, you should switch to elliptic curve keys – they are less than 256 bytes.

  I just tested and didn't run into a 256 character limit. Looks like you can use anything and any number of variables as long as the total size is <4k.
