What I am trying to achieve is a way to create several entities (in this case networks) using same resource and iterating through a list of parameters, like the example below.

    parameters:
      netName:
        type: comma_delimited_list
        label: netName
        default: "calea,diam,ss7,proxy"
        description: Network name
    resources:
      repeat:
        template:
          networks:
            type: OS::Neutron::Net
              properties:
                name:
                  list_join: ['_', [ 'int', <%name%>, 'net']]
        for_each:
          <%name%>: { get_param: netName }

There's no way to use the repeat function outside of a resource, as you've no doubt discovered. The best alternative is really to generate the template using some external system (e.g. jinja templating).

However, another option is to use a ResourceGroup. You can't just create a group of OS::Neutron::Port resources though, you have to define another template that contains a port resource and has parameters for the index and the list of netNames, and then select the appropriate name from the list inside the template.

             properties:

             name: piyush_net_1_port

        piyush_net_2_port:
             type: OS::Neutron::Port
             properties:
