Given that the switch back will be in September, let's upgrade s4 to fully Buster and MariaDB 10.4
- Sanitarium hosts on both DCs (already done https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275112 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272008)
- Sanitarium masters on both DCs (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280492) - ensure sanitarium replicates from a 10.4 host.
- Available backup source on the standby DC (db1150 - all sections have sources everywhere now)
- Switchover backup generation standby DC (waiting for DBAs to merge) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/714704
- Candidate master on the standby DC
- Master on the standby DC
- Candidate master on the primary DC
- Available backup source on the primary DC (db2139 - all sections have sources everywhere now)
- Switchover backup generation Primary DC (waiting for switchover date https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/715919 )
- Switchover on the primary DC to promote a Buster+10.4 host to master: T289650
- Upgrade the old master and make it a candidate master, pool it
- Cleanup (remove) old backup sources from both DCs
