docker_image wouldn't be the best place for that. Buf if you are looking
for a quicker solution, kolla_docker was written specifically to be license
compatible for openstack. its structure should make it easily adapted to
delete an image. And you can copy it and cut it up thanks to the license.
Are you pushing images with no shared base layers at all (300MB compressed
image is no shared base layers)? With shared base layers a full image set
of Kolla images should be much smaller than the numbers you posted.
Thanks,
