This reminds me the similar situation with evacuation of vms from the
host (so it is kind of bulk) but the loop is implemented in nova-client
- it could be one of the options to implement something similar,
although it's not best approach, IMHO.

[openstack-dev] [nova] Bulk Instance Delete support

[vishal yadav]

Hey guys,

Would like to know the plan for support of bulk instance delete feature.
There was a blueprint registered a while ago [1] but it's status is not
clear. No corresponding API [2]

[1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/bulk-delete-servers
[2] http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-compute-v2.1.html

Regards,
Vishal

Heya,

I am not aware of anyone working on this. That said, its also not clear to
me that this is actually a good idea. Why can't you just loop through the
instances and delete them one at a time?

I think it's also important to think about what efficiency might be
gained, which isn't much. DELETE is an async action that returns 202. If
you care about those resources or quota so you can build more, you need
to monitor those deletes.

Which means you are going to be looping on servers to determine status.
The bulk operation as a fire and forget isn't any more efficient on the
server, all the same teardown needs to happen there.
