Apologies for not answering your question but I'm facing a very
similar issue to this shortly so this is very well timed for me! Be
good to hear the solution.

If you could share some of cookbooks/recipes for managing the WP
cluster that would help me a great deal as well.

I'd also be very interested in any scripts you have to check Wordpress
and plugin theme version to detect if an update is required.

Cheers,

Andy
