There is no way to upgrade community PostgreSQL, either to a new minor version or a new major version, with absolute
zerodowntime.
To do a minor version upgrade such as this, the only thing that is required is to restart the server with the new
binaries. While this does require a service interruption, it's quite short, and is not significantly longer than the
interruptionrequired to do a failover. You can do the primary and secondary in either order, although upgrading the
primaryfirst is probably the safest route. You don't have to switch the primary / secondary roles in this case, nor
rebuildthe secondary server using pg_basebackup.
