Overview
========
Once per day, for every image type (and provider) configured by nodepool, a new
image with cached data for use by devstack. Nodepool spins up new instances
and tears down old as tests are queued up and completed, always maintaining a
consistant number of available instances for tests up to the set limits of the
CI infrastructure.
