-        # TODO(mriedem): Currently, the compute service fails to delete the
-        # volume it created because the volume still has the snapshot
-        # associated with it, and the cleanups for the volume snapshot which
-        # were added in create_server_snapshot above, don't run until after
-        # this is called. So we need to delete the volume snapshot and wait for
-        # it to be gone here first before deleting the server, and then we can
-        # also assert that the underlying volume is deleted when the server is
-        # deleted.
