Hey Tiff, We're in a similar boat. We currently lean on (mostly custom) ansible scripting to automate all the repeatable tasks we can, but automation of major PG version upgrades is something we are yet to tackle -- although we plan to start this effort in the short term.
Would you mind sharing a bit more about your own current upgrade process? What's your standard, a dump+restore, a pg_upgrade, or replication-based? Also if you are able to share any lessons learned (e.g. common pitfalls you've run into) will all be useful information to identify ahead of time when drafting an automation strategy.
