images Codespaces Pre-cached Image List

There does not appear to be any definitive list of which images are pre-cached in Github Codespaces so as to save a download. The universal images readme used to have a note that the latest version was precached.

This info should be added to the README to the file, or, if keeping this agnostic, link to a GitHub article or otherwise that lists what images are pre-cached in codespaces.

Hi 👋

Thanks for starting this conversation. Looping in @craiglpeters (PM for GitHub Codespaces), should we create such a doc for Codespaces and link it to the corresponding READMEs?

Perhaps it would be sensible to list the images that are precached for Codespaces here? https://github.com/github/codespaces-host-images/blob/main/README.md cc: @osortega

@osortega @craiglpeters any update on this or is there a way to discover it within the codespace itself with docker-from-docker or the like?
