Good day..... The image formats depends upon the Hypervisor you used.
If it is XenServer/XCP then the image format is VHD and for KVM it is .img . It 
is nothing to do with Cloudstack. As XenServer/XCP keeping the virtual 
harddisks in .VHD format in attached NFS repository. Also in CloudStack for 
primary and secondary storage NFS storage has been used.You can import an 
existing .vhd file to CloudStack. Normally .VHD files are bigger than the 
actual Operting System (OS) space. As VHD is the complete harddisk that 
includes both OS spcae + empty space.
