Well, I defined something like your data in the 'vars' section of a playbook. You could put it in a vars file, or you could possibly define these vars in your hostvars/groupvars or something. This probably isn't exactly what you want, but you can adapt it to your needs.

- hosts: localhost
 gather_facts: no
 vars:
 data:
 - "name": "hostgroup1", "port": 80, "hosts": ["host1", "host2", "host3"] 
 - "name": "hostgroup2", "port": 443, "hosts": ["host5", "host6", "host7"] 
 tasks:
 - debug:
 msg: |
 % for item in data %
 - job: item.name 
 targets: [ %- for host in item.hosts -%
 " host : item.port ",
 %- endfor -%]
 % endfor %

Output

# ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=debug ansible-playbook 20190404_sf_961529.yml 

PLAY [localhost] ************************************************************************************

TASK [debug] ****************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => 

MSG:

- job: hostgroup1
 targets: ["host1:80","host2:80","host3:80",]
- job: hostgroup2
 targets: ["host5:443","host6:443","host7:443",]


PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 

For the output to a file you can use a task like this.

 - copy:
 dest: outputpath
 content: |
 % for item in data %
 - job: item.name 
 targets: [ %- for host in item.hosts -%
 " host : item.port ",
 %- endfor -%]
 % endfor %
