Upgrade barometer
This version does not require downtime. It includes a single migration that disables invalid service templates. Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations, and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior can be changed by adding a /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-migrations file.
