    <p>You can use ResourceGroups. Here is a snippet from a resource
      file I have created:</p>
    <p>  my_server_instance:<br>
          type: OS::Nova::Server<br>
          properties:<br>
            image: { get_param: image }<br>
            flavor: { get_param: flavor }<br>
      #      key_name: { get_param: key }<br>
            availability_zone: { get_param: [avl_zones, get_param: index
      ]}<br>
            networks:<br>
              - port: { get_resource: myport}<br>
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>and the 'deployment' file from where I instantiate the resource
      (not complete, removed stuff for simplicity). Note usage of index,
      lets you address individual servers.<br>
    </p>
    <p>  my_cluster:<br>
          type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup<br>
          properties:<br>
            count: { get_param: my_cluster_size }<br>
            resource_def:<br>
              type: myresource<br>
              properties:<br>
                image: "someimage"<br>
                index: "%index%"<br>
    </p>
    <p>(Assumed that there is a registry as below:</p>
    <p>resource_registry:<br>
        myresource: myresourcefile.yaml<br>
      <br>
    </p>
    I know this is patchy, but I think provides all required clues.<br>

        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I have a HOT file that has 4 Nova::Server resources. They
          differences between them are minimal and, when I look at the
          file, I see a lot of duplication. How can I reduce this. I've
          tried fiddling with the 'repeat' intrinsic and
          StructuredConfig but with no luck. I basically want to create
          a loop like the following in the pseudo code:</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>list_of_servers = ["s1", "s2", "s3", "s4"]</div>
        <div>for server_name in list_of_servers: </div>
        <div>    create_server(server_name)</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
