Hi Han,

Can you give us some more information?
Where is the delay? Is it in volume building, allocation selection? Spawning? Etc.

The VM instantiation process has a number of us processes that can all slow down at scale for different reasons.

I doubt it is the actual spawning or allocation stage, likely a ceph/cinder building stage, especially if it’s copying data via glance to a volume.

Thanks,
Karl.
