Create Multiple volumes in one go aws cloudformation

I want to create multiple volumes via single Cloudformation template, While searching for the loops in cloudformation i found its not available.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this in CLoudformation.

This working template to create Single volume.

Working template:

---
Description: "Create FSx for ONTAP Filesystem"
Resources:
  AWSDemoVolume:
    Type: "AWS::FSx::Volume"
    Properties:
      Name: AWSBackupDemovol001
      OntapConfiguration:
        JunctionPath: /AWSBackupDemovol001
        SizeInMegabytes: 150
        StorageEfficiencyEnabled: true
        StorageVirtualMachineId: "svm-04c2e2830ff42097e"
        TieringPolicy:
          CoolingPeriod: 2
          Name: AUTO          
      VolumeType: "ONTAP"
      Tags:
        - Key: "Bacup_Tag"
          Value: "backup"
        - Key: "Created_By"
          Value: "Cloud Micron"
...

While looking at various suggestion i tried Bleow but not working.

There are no loops in CloudFormation. The only way to achieve what you want is through macros or custom resources.

So you have to develop your own macro or a custom resource in the form of a lambda function to perform the iterative creation of multiple volumes.
