This is good practice anyway. Having long-lived servers causes all kinds of issues. In the old days, if you had a server that was up for years, you had no idea whether you could reboot the server safely or not. Additionally, from a security perspective, the longer-lived a server is, the more likely that an attacker installed some manner of backdoor on the server that's just waiting for the attacker's opportune moment to come back and exploit it.
Much better to make chaos an expected part of your operations - make sure your servers are cattle (not pets), give them maximum lifetimes, and terminate them on a regular basis. The more frequent the termination, the better prepared you are for single-node overload, and the less likely that it happens in your use case in the first place.
- slver 5y agoAnd that’s a good explanation for why we’ve evolved with finite lives.
- emteycz 5y agoIt has absolutely nothing to do with life. Evolution doesn't work like this; it searches for local maxima.
- slver 5y agoSocial behavior shows that what you consider “local” varies in scale. And that scale often is beyond the individual.
- emteycz 5y agoNot to this degree of influence. Death has nothing to do with social behavior...
- slver 5y agoIt has, in that both benefit groups, not an isolated individual.
- emteycz 5y agoDo you have any research source for that, please? AFAIK death is more than anything connected to offspring survival. That is not considered to be 'social' by evolutionary biologists.
- slver 5y agoI’m confused what you want research about. That death and new generations enable our much faster social evolution and inherently improves the bus factor of all our systems? Do you need research to see this?
- emteycz 5y agoI would like to see research that connects age of death or death itself with social factors. AFAIK it's connected to offspring survival, which is not a social factor.
- slver 5y agoI'd just invoke Plank's principle and thousands of other examples right before your eyes. You shouldn't need research when you're swimming in the conclusion.
- emteycz 5y agoSorry but this is going directly against evolutionary biology as it is commonly understood by evolutionary biologists and very successfully used to explain evolution. They don't care about invocations of Planck's principle, that's philosophical pondering, not useful genomics.
