The images we build from Nodepool 1. are created with
diskimage-builder (does DIB support creating Cirros images?), and
are uploaded to Glance in all our donor-providers (are we likely to
actually boot it directly in them?).

The files hosted on the tarballs site (including the IPA images) are
built by Zuul jobs. If you can figure out what project that job
should reside in and a cadence to run it, that might be an option.

We already do that for official Cirros images:

https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config/src/branch/master/nodepool/elements/cache-devstack/source-repository-images

If you look in the build logs of a DevStack-based job, you'll see it
check, e.g., /opt/stack/devstack/files/cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.img
and then not wget that image over the network because it exists on
the filesystem.
