 either dynamically by calling keystone to allocate new credentials, or from
 a list of preprovisioned credentials. These 2 modules are implementations of

+    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.
