Can we stop with the uptime percentages?

    Uptimes used to be measured in years. Clearly we no longer have OSs or server software that are fit for purpose.

      Tbf, it's a little weird now with rolling restarts. I wouldn't call it downtime if there's a seamless transition to a new pod.

      Maybe that's not what you're referring to, but do i mess that simple uptime metric... Finding out your server has been trucking along for 5 years without a single reboot.
