Is the new Agent feature answer my use case?

[naor2013]

I tried to look around to see if I understand the new Agent feature and I have some questions.
The use-case I have is that I have many tasks, mostly parallel that all use the same Python image with a different script (source).
I want multiple "agents" that are going up when the workflow starts and are ready to get jobs to run.

The agent feature seems to be perfect for this use case but there are some details that are unclear to me.

1. Can I have multiple agents for the same "taskset"?
2. It seems like the feature is connected to the http template feature. Does it mean I can't have Python image agents?

Thank you.
