We make official install packages out of each release and then use the
OS package management to do an "official" installation upgrade. This
allows for rollback/downgrade in the event of an issue and allows us to
easily repeat this on the 120+ tomcat servers that we run.

Not sure if anyone cares or not but this is how I handle...
Unpack Tomcat to /opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-<version>
Create a link for the instance: /opt/Apache/tomcat/current ->
/opt/Apache/tomcat/apache-tomcat-<version>
This effectively does the same thing as described below except instead of
copying binary content you just need to copy over the relevant configuration
from the old to the new. Works for my purposes anyway.

I have NOT been able to locate clear HOW TO steps for this.
I am currently focused on MINOR upgrades.
I will commence a different thread when I raise the question for MAJOR
upgrades --- say from 9.x to 10.x -- or 9.x to 11.x
IF someone can point me to a great resource...
That would be tremendously helpful and truly appreciated.
Apache Tomcat home > Documentation has a Migration Guide

"For upgrading between 9.0.x versions, ..."
Generally speaking, if you prepare your deployment according to
RUNNING.txt (see Tomcat distribution) sub-section "Advanced Configuration
- Multiple Tomcat Instances", the patch update can be fairly painless - all it
takes is replacing CATALINA_HOME/bin and CATALINA_HOME/lib with the
contents of the Tomcat update. And consulting the migration guide for
potential breaking changes. Works for me!
Good luck,
Andre
