@chase-edwards-db how can validation be automated? Please describe
Updated, let me know if more info needed @nfx
This seems like a HUGE feature request. Like it could be it's own Labs project. I'm not suggesting it's not important, just a large amount of work; and somewhat independent to the goals of UCX.
@pohlposition completely agree. I was hoping to use this as a catalyst, but I suppose as Serverless adoption/usage accelerates there may not be a need in a few years. Maybe a "lighter" version to support UC migrations, specifically?
For ref, we do have this (per @nfx's ask on upgrade documentation): https://dbrmg.databricks.com/?cloud_provider=aws So, it would be more about applying translation of these, or UC-specific changes (not clearly documented from what I can see).
There is no systematic way to upgrade DBR. Often, the first step large customers need to take is a DBR upgrade to move to a UC-supported runtime. Note that this feature could (and should) be built for the generic case, independent of UC migrations as historically it has always been a field need.

This can/should be rolled into #1122, where validation should be done via:
