Bug Description

About `virt-builder`: "Virt-builder is a tool for quickly building new virtual machines. You can build a variety of VMs for local or cloud use, usually within a few minutes or less. Virt-builder also has many ways to customize these VMs. Everything is run from the command line and nothing requires root privileges, so automation and scripting is simple." -- http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html

Mention this in "Tool support for image creation" section: http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html

An example:

(1) Create a Fedora qcow2 image:

    $ virt-builder fedora-20 -o f20vm1.qcow2 --format qcow2 \
        --update --selinux-relabel --size 30G

(2) Import it into libvirt (so it can be accessed via `virt-manager` and
    `virsh`):

    $ sudo virt-install --name f20vm --ram 2048 \
        --disk path=/home/kashyap/fedora-20.qcow2,format=qcow2 --import
