If you're just talking about VMs and templates, you can try
'virt-builder' or 'virt-sysprep' for manipulating the templates
directly (Instead of booting them up in a full VM).

Theses tools also allow you to inject scripts and commands to be run once a
VM created from the template is brought up for the 1st time.

Another option to consider is installing the cloud-init package in the VM. Some
virtual environments allow you to inject instructions into VMs using
cloud-init.
