Public bug reported:

nova-compute memory grows to 3gb in a Scaled environment (5000 vm) where
continuous VM operations were executed for 72 hours.

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

To test the memory leak we created and deleted same number of vms for some iterations. Here is the data .

When analysed with objgraph, it showed that suds library objects occupied most of the memory.
