Hi Jagga, You can use packer. In our case, we needed some special images with LVM, so I decided to use packer to create qcow2 images. Have a look here: https://github.com/jriguera/packer-ironic-images/tree/master/ubuntu
You have to change the cloud-init configuration to add the OpenStack metadata provider.
