Convert JSON dict in Bash to Powershell

Question

I need some help passing this json dict to the variable RESPONSE. But I am unsure how to convert this to powershell from bash. I tried using piping to | ConvertTo-Json -Compress but couldn't quite get it right

RESPONSE="$(cat <<EOT
{
  "spec": {
    "instance": "$NODENAME",
    "hostname": true,
    "container": [
      {
        "seccontent": {
          "objectA": true
        },
        "image": "$IMAGENAME",
        "command": [ "tester", "--target", "1", "--mount", "--test", "--test", "--net", "--pid", "--", "bash", "-l" ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
EOT
)"

Try multiple lines string like this:

> $RESPONSE=@'
{
  "spec": {
    "instance": "$NODENAME",
    "hostname": true,
    "container": [
      {
        "seccontent": {
          "objectA": true
        },
        "image": "$IMAGENAME",
        "command": [ "nsenter", "--target", "1", "--mount", "--uts", "--ipc", "--net", "--pid", "--", "bash", "-l" ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
'@

And, then convert to JSON:

> $RESPONSE | ConvertTo-Json
