+Execute database maintenance tasks
+----------------------------------
+Cleanup stale records from glance database to make it smaller.
+This is helpful before any upgrade activity.
+It is safe to execute it generally without maintenance window same as online db_sync.
+
+Enable this pillar:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   glance:
+     server:
+       db_purge:
+         enabled: True
+
+Execute state glance.db.db_cleanup to purge stale records:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   salt -C 'I@glance:server:role:primary' state.apply glance.db.db_cleanup -l debug
+
+It is possible to pass days parameter.
+If you skip setting it, all records would be archived/purged:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   glance:
+     server:
+       db_purge:
+         enabled: True
+         days: 45
 
 Change files/directories permissions for glance service:
