Migrating from Pets to Cattle for server names also means you no longer are attached to the server, so it can be replaced or shut down without any personal attachment.
That is also how I feel about Microservices these days. I may still name the service with a "pet" like symbolic name, but I treat them as cattle.
They can be split, repurposed, deleted, rewritten any day without much remorse or delay. No personal attachment.
