Vadim, 1. Only KVM for now, due to lack of interest I guess 2. The root disk value needs to be equal or larger than that of the template, otherwise you end up with a broken disk, obviously. So go for minimal (say under 10G) templates that can resize themselves, such as the ones at http://dl.openvm.eu ;) 3. The backend API has been supporting this since 4.4.0, it's the UI that is lagging behind More details here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181
