That looks like it would get us where we want to be.  My main goal is
to have a relatively easy process for someone without administrative
access to the host to...

- Uploading an ISO image.
- Boot an instance from that image.
- Install an OS onto something.
- Transform <something> from the previous step into a deployable
  image.

Allowing images booted from an ISO to have an attached, snapshottable
root drive would certainly work.
