Since the release 3.6, Sunstone includes a new tab that allows OpenNebula users to interact with the OpenNebula Marketplace:

If you want to import a new appliance into your local infrastructure, you just have to select an image and click the button import. A new dialog box will prompt you to create a new image.

After that you will be able use that image in a template in order to create a new instance.

You can also use the CLI to interact with the OpenNebula Marketplace:
