I think I'd rephrase your definition of pre-fetched to be honest -- something more like "images on this hypervisor node without a currently running instance". So, your operations would become:
- trigger an image prefetching - list unused base images (and perhaps when they were last used) - delete an unused image All of that would need to tie into the image cache management code so that its not stomping on your images. In fact, you're probably best of adding all of this as tweaks to the image cache manager anyways. One question though -- who is calling these APIs? Are you adding a central service to orchestrate these calls?
