[one-users] New simplified Sunstone view (self-service)

[Daniel Molina]

Hi all,

We are working on a new simplified sunstone view [1], that has been
requested by several users.

https://twitter.com/dmamolina/status/355634576577679360

In this view a user will be able to instantiate a new Virtual Machine in
three steps:
  1. Select a name and a number of vms
  2. Select an instance type.
  3. Select the OS image for this instance(s)

An instance type is an OpenNebula template instead of an erb file.
Therefore, administrators can prepare as many templates (instance types) as
they want and make them available to different users/groups.

In OpenNebula 4.0, the merge action [1] was included for templates. This
action allows us to define a base template and instantiate new virtual
machines providing extra information to this template.

These templates must define all the required information such as network,
capacity, placement.. and leave the OS disk undefined, so the user can
specify the desired image


Feedback
=======
We would like to ask you (the community) if you are missing anything in
this view or if you would like to include anything else in this kind of
scenario.

Thank you for your feedback
