Description

This is a possible optimization; since a Kip setup might use an image cache, we should be able to implement imagePullPolicy: if all the layers and metadata are present in the image cache for the container image, and imagePullPolicy is ifNotPresent or Never, then itzo will be able to start the container without (re)pulling the image.

Research direction

Start by locating the API definition and the code that decides whether a container image is pulled or started from the image cache. Trace how image layers and metadata are checked, then verify the requested ifNotPresent and Never behavior for cached and uncached images. Done means the API accepts imagePullPolicy and startup avoids pulling when the stated cache conditions are met.
