Description

### The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to register whose template format is

resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz
resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz

Currently Cloudstack supports the registration of template whose format is

resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64.qcow2
resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64.qcow2.bz2
resolute-server-cloudimg-amd64.xz

it will be useful for the admin user who just wants to quicky register a small-sized compressed cloud image

Research direction

Start by tracing CloudStack's template registration path and how it recognizes the currently supported image formats listed in the issue. Confirm where format validation and archive handling occur; done means templates ending in .tar.gz and .tar.xz can be registered alongside the existing formats, with coverage for both cases.
