I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically upload and download VM
images, and I haven't yet found anything in the docs or playing around in
the UI that jumps out at me.

To download from OpenStack, the story I would follow is
1) Snapshot a VM. This would create an image (or set of images) that I
could easily download from glance (the image storage service)
2) Download the resulting image(s).

Uploading is just as straightforward:
1) Upload to glance
2) Create an instance.

I can see from what I've looked at so far that CloudStack does things a bit
differently. Is there a path to what I want to accomplish? Templates &
Volumes don't look to have quite what I want, but I could be wrong. Looking
at the UI, I couldn't even figure out how to upload local files, only files
being served up via HTTP or FTP.

I'm currently using the .NET SDK and CloudStack 4.2.1. I've got to say, as
SDKs go, this one has been pretty great to work with. I'm just stumped by
this task.

Thanks,
Chris
