Description

We need to decide how we handle unused images, network interfaces.

When a microvm is deleted the snapshots will be deleted. This may leave a container image unused. What should we do with these unused images? A couple of options:

1. Do nothing
2. Delete them after X days
3. Delete them as soon as they become unused.
