Next Monday, November 25th, at around 13:00 UTC, ToolsDB will be
upgraded from MariaDB v10.4.29 to MariaDB v10.6.19. [0]

I have already created a new host "tools-db-4" that is running the new
version, and is replicating from the current primary. On Monday, I
will fail over the current primary to the new host. [1]

All connections will be dropped and the DNS will be updated to point
to the new host. Tools should automatically reconnect to the new host.
No downtime is expected but there will be a few minutes of read-only
time.

For most tools, the upgrade should be painless. However, you might
want to check the official docs listing incompatible changes
introduced in version 10.5 [2] and 10.6. [3]

If you find any issues, please let us know in the #wikimedia-cloud IRC channel.
