There are a number of CloudStack-specific things that you can set by  
supplying CloudStackTemplateOptions [1] to the Template. See the EC2  
guide for an example (search for AWSEC2TemplateOptions). It doesn't  
seem like all the properties you need are supported there, however.

In that case, you can always go to the provider-specific API and call  
the appropriate CloudStack APIs directly [3]. That means that your  
code is tied to a specific provider, of course, but if you need to do  
CloudStack-specific things, that's a tradeoff you can make.

See [4] for more details.

Hope this helps!
