Add support for selecting storage container on image and vm disk

/kind feature

Add support for selecting storage container on image and vm disk. This option is available in the Terraform provider

This feature is actually valid, as when you build the image it goes directly to the self-service storage container, an option to specify an image storage destination.

Workaround is to export image locally and upload manually.

Hello,

This functionality is relatively blocking. Do you have any idea about its implementation in future features?

I confirm this workaround is kind of blocking (you have to download/upload all your templates everytime you update them).
Is there any feedback since this issue opening ? :)

(Another proposal should be to be able to upload to PE instead of PC from Packer, then import image from PC, it avoid the download/upload thing..)

Yes, this is pretty important feature what is missing now.

And it's also unfortunate there is no reply from any contributor.

@Peter1295 can you explain in detail your use case and what you try to achieve thanks

We are running Prism Central with 2 clusters, each in different datacenter (not an issue with packer, as we have set placement policy what replicate to both clusters) and have set multiple storage containers based on the location and function with separated policies.
