I'm trying to find a way to create a set of servers and attach a new volume
to each server.

I first tried to use block_device_mapping but that requires an existing
snapshot or volume and the deployment would fail when Rackspace
intermittently timed out trying to create the new volume from a snapshot.

I'm now trying with 3 ResourceGroups: OS::Cinder::Volume to build volumes
followed by OS::Nova::Server and then trying to attach the volumes
with OS::Cinder::VolumeAttachment.

This works when I do a single server and volume if I reference the
VolumeAttachment properties like this:
volume_id: { get_attr: [group_volumes, refs, 0] }

Is there a way to add the index reference to the property when using
get_attr? Something like this:
volume_id: { get_attr: [group_volumes, refs, %index%] }

Here is my template for reference:

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23

resources:
    group_volumes:
        type: "OS::Heat::ResourceGroup"
        properties:
            count: 1
            resource_def:
                type: "OS::Cinder::Volume"
                properties:
                    size: 150

                    mountpoint: /dev/xvdg
                    volume_id: { get_attr: [group_volumes, refs, 0] }
                #properties:
                #    instance_uuid: { get_attr: [group_servers, refs,
"%index%"] } #This doesn't work
                #    mountpoint: /dev/xvdg
                #    volume_id: { get_attr: [group_volumes, refs,
"%index%"] }
