Hi [~rohit.vavaldas]
To add some colour to this, here is the original brief, from which Daan took
the headline feature.
* As a cloud operator, I want to be able to upload and install the system VM
templates via a running CloudStack mgmt. server. I do not want to have to
'pre-seed' templates manually. I wish the 'add zone' wizard to take me through
the process of specifying the location of the system VM template to install if
i don't do it through the API.
* I want a UI and API to upload system VM templates with or without the aid of
the SSVM. I wish to be able to specify a ‘custom’ local (file) or remote (url)
location of the system VM template or allow CloudStack to download the
‘default’ template for the current hypervisor(s) installed.
* Through the UI and API, I wish to be able to upload a new system VM template
(separately from any upgrade).
* I wish to be able to set/select which template(s) to use as system VM
templates easily through the UI and API.
This may give you some ideas.

> As a cloud admin I want a single call API to upgrade/upload a new System VM
> template. The System VM template upgrade procedure is now largely manual and
> error prone. An one ring to bind them all API call to replace the current
> template for system VMs would help cloud admins world wide.
