This is kind of close to the user defintion. You may define multiple
resources of the same type somewhat like that

As far as I know puppet does not have iterative statements (except for
templates which are a diffrent topic).
You could create a define, which receives your parameters and builds
other resources, and use the above semantics (from the link)
ie
define user_home($user,$UID, $Shell)
{
user { $user:
home => "/home/${user}",
uid => $UID,
shell => $Shell,
}
and use it as
user_home
{
"user1":
blah;
"user2":
blah;
}
