My users aren't very interested in deploying generic vm templates and would rather have various prebuilt vm options (mysql database, tomcat webserver, OpenGeo, OMAR, RBAC, ...) templates to choose from similar to AWS.
Is there a plan for cloudstack to integrate a puppet or chef like feature so I don't have to prebuild tons of double digit gigabyte vm templates into the secondary storage? It seems like a waste of space repeating the operating system like that. Would much rather store the OS as a generic base template once and then have post install recipes that will go through the vm after deployment and install the latest rpm's of the users choosing.
