OVA is supported if you use the VMware driver in Nova.  The image needs 
to be imported in Glance like this:

glance image-create --property vmware_disktype="streamOptimized" 
--property vmware_adaptertype="ide" --name foo --container-format ova 
--disk-format vmdk

The support for this has been added in Kilo with this commit:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/53abbc3b479195812e962b6fb7785022af3aeca0

Let me know if you need more info on this.
