Importing Images
================

The ``import_images`` subcommand fetches the manifest from the image-server. After that
it extracts the image locations. Finally it starts a web-import for those images
at the Openstack.

.. note::

   Even if the testbedimage-tool initiates the web-import, it is important
   to know that the Openstack will download the images directly from the image-server.
