You might consider using foreman [1] which has a pretty good integration
with oVirt and can be used to:

Provision your  OS (redhat, debian, suse, solairs etc and their clones).
Manage things like DNS, DHCP etc
Configure your instances (using puppet)
...

You can have a look how it might look like (via foreman ui) at [2], its
libvirt based, but really is nearly the same for ovirt.
Its currently using PXE based solutions (but image/template based
alternatives would be available in the near future)
