1. A system comprising:

  • a processing device; and

    a memory device including instructions that are executable by the processing device for causing the processing device to;

    copy a segment of a virtual-machine image stored in a second storage device to a first storage device in response to receiving a first read request for the segment from a virtual machine that is deployable using the virtual-machine image, the first storage device being capable of responding to read requests from the virtual machine with less latency than the second storage device;

    update a log to indicate that the segment of the virtual-machine image is stored on the first storage device; and

    in response to receiving a second read request for the segment from the virtual machine subsequent to receiving the first read request;

    determine that the segment is stored in the first storage device using the log; and

    based on determining that the segment is stored in the first storage device, provide the segment to the virtual machine by obtaining the segment from the first storage device.
