Hi,

We're running a hosting infrastructure with currently 36000
application websites that we'd like to upgrade. The application
upgrade requires massive db schema changes and could take a very long
time on so many instances.

All the dbs are hosted on a dedicated host + replication on a slave.
We're on EC2 so we can use as many spare servers as needed for the
upgrade.

I was wondering what would be our best bet to upgrade with a minimum
user downtime.

For example we could launch a new DB instance with a backup and
upgrade it, but then we'd still need to catch up with the operational
DB and convert the updates to the new schema. Maybe there a way to add
a "schema conversion" script in the replication process ?

Any thoughts, suggestions or feedback about such an upgrade would be
appreciated. Thanks.
