To enable automatic confirmation after resize/migrate, we set the value of confirm_resize_window to 1. This did in fact enable the processing for the automatic confirmation, but an error was returned because of a database access issue:

After searching the community and coming across the blueprint at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/no-db-compute and the bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/823000, I started to suspect the issue could have been caused by this change. To test this theory, in /usr/bin/nova-compute we commented out lines 78 and 79 and set the parm referenced in line 83 to db_allowed=True (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/bin/nova-compute#L78). After restarting nova and trying a new resize operation, the automatic confirmation was working.
Fix proposed to branch: master
