Draft: feat: Slim Upgrade methodology

John Skarbek requested to merge jts/slim-the-upgrade into main

What does this MR do?

  • Introduces a set of tags which enable a reduced run of Ansible in order to accomplish an upgrade.
  • The tag name gitlab_application_upgrade was chosen to signify this being targeted for upgrading only GitLab specifically.
  • This tag has been added for both omnibus and chart installations thus is able to upgrade either/both installation methods in the same run.
  • Since Hybrid installs do not manage Post Deployment Migrations properly, this is still not contributing anything to Zero Downtime Upgrades.
  • Since we are not orchestrating Geo, no changes occur to this area.
