Multiple VM template - 1 agent + 1 user_data or ...?

Hi. Love Coder. All public templates appear to assume provisioning only 1 compute thing. I'm writing a Template that can provision a cluster of VMs but I'm getting an error when I try to create equal count of coder agents ("duplicate agent name: agent"). resource coder_agent is missing a name attribute so it can't be created in a loop/count. * Is there a reference for deploying multiple VMs? * Does each aws_instance need a unique coder_agent and unique user_data? Any guidance would be great. tyvm.

# data.coder_parameter.nodes.value = 3
# workspace deploy throws error: "duplicate agent name: agent"
resource "coder_agent" "agent" {
  count = data.coder_parameter.nodes.value
  arch  = "amd64"
  auth  = "aws-instance-identity"
  os    = "linux"
  dir   = "/home/coder"

# data.coder_parameter.nodes.value = 3
# workspace deploy throws error: "duplicate agent name: agent"
resource "coder_agent" "agent" {
  count = data.coder_parameter.nodes.value
  arch  = "amd64"
  auth  = "aws-instance-identity"
  os    = "linux"
  dir   = "/home/coder"
