+    Tempest checks a volume delete by waiting for NotFound(404) on
+    show_volume(). Sometime a volume delete fails and the volume status
+    becomes error_deleting which means the delete is failed.
+    So Tempest doesn't need to wait anymore. A new release of Tempest
+    raises an exception DeleteErrorException instead of waiting.

+
+    Cleanup a set of resources provisioned via `create_validation_resources`.

+    after the cleanup is complete.

+    :param keypair: A dictionary with the keypair to be deleted. Defaults to
+        None.
+    :param floating_ip: A dictionary with the floating_ip to be deleted.
+        Defaults to None.
+    :param security_group: A dictionary with the security_group to be deleted.
