Extending AWS servers lifetime in servers.csv, to match new official AWS refresh policy ? #283

Open bpetit opened 7 months ago

bpetit commented 7 months ago

Problem

More or less recently AWS published about its servers extended lifetime from 4 to 6 years.

Looking at boaviztapi/data/archetypes/server.csv, USAGE.hours_life_time is set at 35040 hours which equals to 4 years.

Solution

Should'nt we change this value to 52560 hours / 6 years ?

Alternatives

This is an open debate.

Additional context or elements

Contributing to the API for Azure servers (PR here), we saw Azure applied a similar policy so we choose to use 6 years as the lifetime of machines.
