Half the products people build don’t even last 2000 days nowadays, but any system you build should have a continuous uptime well over 2,000 days. My dns servers for example have been responding to dns for the last 12 years on the same IP without more than a second of downtime.

It might be acceptable for AWS to crash every few months, but it’s not acceptable for my systems to be out for the length of a reboot.
