+    New parameters, NovaCronDBArchivedMaxDelay and CinderCronDbPurgeMaxDelay,
+    are introduced to configure max_delay parameter to calculate randomized
+    sleep time before db archive/purge. This avoids db collisions when
+    performing db archive/purge operations on multiple controller nodes.
