This is expected behavior, unfortunately.
I spoke to the ceph guys about this last year. When you delete an ‘image’ from
a pool, the monitors (IIRC) don’t instantly know where all the segments are
across all the OSDs, so it takes a while to find/delete each one.
We also saw this, and were especially alarmed at the high CPU load on
deletion. So we came up with a work-around that also makes for very fast
instance creation as well as deletion, if you are using Ceph:
Create a volume from the image first, then create an instance from that
bootable volume. Volume creation/deletion is quite fast, with down side
of a two-step process. We have a CLI script that has an instance up and
ssh-able in less than 4 minutes, including volume creation. booting and
selinux recalc on first boot. Deletes take about 30 seconds. FWIW.
Presumably the resource reclamation time is affected by the volume_clear
setting and volume size? I'm guessing it'd take longer than 30 seconds
to zero out a large volume.
