Hi,

I observed accessing Admin dashboard's instance index page generated lots of duplicate requests to Glance for converting instance image id to name, but accessing Project dashboard's instance index page didn't (my system runs Newton, but from what I can tell, Ocata and Pike code seem to have same issue).

I looked at the code and found the reason. In Project dashboard's instance index view class, it first calls Glance's API to get a list of image objects, then iterates through instance objects and sets each instance's image attribute to corresponding image object. As a result, when instance object's image_name() is called later, it gets name from image object. In Admin dashboard's instance index view class, however, it doesn't do this and hence needs to send request to Glance everytime image_name() is called.

I wonder why Admin dashboard's instance index view class doesn't use the same approach as Project dashboard? Is it intended?

Thanks,
Ray
