> I have machines at these providers with 1000-1300 days of uptime
You did not say what system you use on them, but don't you need to reboot them to apply kernel upgrades, for instance?

I run most of the workloads in containers, but there are also some VMs (mostly Windows) and some workloads use Firecracker micro vms in containers. A small number of machines are rebooted more often because they occasionally need new kernel features, and their workloads aren't VM friendly, so they run on bare metal.
