Have you dug into any of the operations around these instances to

evacuations (rebuild from a down host).
To be honest, I have not, however, I suspect a lot of those happen from the
fact that it is possible that the service which makes the claim is not the
same one that deletes it

I'm not sure if this is something that's possible but say the compute2 makes
a claim for migrating to compute1 but something fails there, the revert happens
in compute1 but compute1 is already borked so it doesn't work

This isn't necessarily the exact case that's happening but it's a summary
of what I believe happens.


The computes don't create the resource allocations in placement though, the scheduler does, unless this deployment still has at least one compute that is <Pike. You should probably check that to make sure.

The compute service should only be removing allocations for things like server delete, failed move operation (cleanup the allocations created by the scheduler), or a successful move operation (cleanup the allocations for the source node held by the migration record).

I wonder if you have migration records (from the cell DB migrations table) holding allocations in placement for some reason, even though the migration is complete. I know you have an audit script to look for allocations that are not held by instances, assuming those instances have been deleted and the allocations were leaked, but they could have also been held by the migration record and maybe leaked that way? Although if you delete the instance, the related migrations records are also removed (but maybe not their allocations?). I'm thinking of a case like, resize and instance but rather than confirm/revert it, the user deletes the instance. That would cleanup the allocations from the target node but potentially not from the source node.
