This syntax looks awkward.
You should declare each virtual resource on its own:
@nginx::nginx_vhost {
'testing.domain.com':
ssl_enabled => true;
'test2.domain.com': ;
}

Using the array for realization is fine, but I don't recommend it for
resource declaration.
Yes, there is redundant data in your manifest now.
The alternative probably is
@nginx::nginx_vhost { $websites: }
nginx::nginx_vhost <| title == 'testing.domain.com' |> {
ssl_enabled => false
}
nginx::nginx_vhost <| title == 'test2.domain.com' |>
But that's redundant, too, *and* ugly on top of it ;-)
HTH,
