Can you please tell us why? What are you afraid of? I have seen servers up much longer than 2 days, still humming along no memory leaks no whatever you can think of that "rots" on a server that doesn't change. Maybe your app has a lot of memory leaks or is not well coded where it has to be restarted every few days, or as you say completely brought up on a new server why?

2 days isn't a strict limit :)

But I wouldn't want to maintain instances that aren't regularly cycled.

Then you have to install security updates and things like that.

I think many people today, only want to own the inside of their container, and only have the container exposed through a load balancer that has some sanity check on incoming traffic..

Most LBs won't forward non-HTTP requests, etc..
