@arclight Current practice is to make sure the database is on RDS instead of the VM, kill the old VM, start the new one with the upgrade, SSH into it, reverse engineer the application to find the config files and change the database settings to the RDS instance, reboot the VM, hope it comes up, them SSH back in, shut down the local DB, find and run all the migrations manually, and force a browser refresh several times.
