This is possible today by creating a template from the VM, then instantiating VMs from the template via thin or clone. Clone VM should allow to remove the need of creating a template. Only clone would be supported of course, though the VM is thinly provisioned from a template, then cloning only the thinly provisioned disks rather than the entire disks would be good as well)
