The reason is that your code is broken. Resource names / titles are
*strings*. If you try to use a hash as a resource title (via a variable,
since a hash literal in that position won't even parse) then it is
stringified for use as the name. The "ip1.1.1.1idbar" resource title is
exactly such a stringified hash. If you want to feed a hash to your
defined type then do it via a parameter.
With respect to the details of your code, it looks like you might be
searching for the create_resources()
<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.4.stable/function.html#createresources>
function. Your data take a form similar (but not identical) to the one
consumed by create_resources.
In addition, I strongly recommend choosing a different name than "map" for
your defined type, as "map" is the name of a built-in function in the
future parser. In fact, the defined type's name in your example is really
"myclass::map", which is basically ok as long as you refer to it by that
name, but that would be much clearer if you did not nest the type
definition inside your class. It is poor style to nest class or type
definitions inside (other) classes; instead, each should reside in its own
file.
