You should take a look to the Self Service interface which interacts
with OpenNebula through OCCI. Using this interface you can define
instance types for the users and the user just have to select an image
and the number of VMs of a given type.

OCCI Server: http://www.opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.4:occicg#defining_compute_types
Self Service UI: http://www.opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.4:selfservice

Hope this helps
