Good things to investigate. I see the sync_power_state_interval periodic is already disabled so it has to be something with life cycle events from libvirt. There is another configuration option if you really need to use it to disable handling of life cycle events from libvirt: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#workarounds.handle_virt_lifecycle_events -- Thanks, Matt
