I have question regarding VMware automated OS installation/reinstallation. I'm pretty sure that is possible, but I'm little bit lost there.

I'm running vSphere 5.5 and I want to make in-house web "self service" for OS installation like one would see in VPS hosting companies or similar, not to keep our testers waiting that IT respond their request. I'm aware that this would include some programming, but part which I don't understand where to store ISO images for OS (CentOS, Debian, ...) inside VMware.

Can someone explain me how this can be achieved?

Thank you

Put the ISO on a datastore that your ESXi hosts can access: Upload ISO Image Installation Media for a Guest Operating System

As c4f4t0r pointed out, deploying from templates might be a better alternative.
