So your haproxy, nginx, ldap, dns, nagios, sftp, ELK, imap, etc... services don't live more than a day or two? Interesting.....

When you run fully redundant services behind a load balancer, you don't need to worry about taking down one instance of a service for maintenance.

Good luck with your services that need to maintain state. Not everything is a stateless microservice.

Why not? It helps to think that containers are immutable. The actual data can be stored in either separate bare containers or on the host file system.

In this case the application containers themselves can perfectly live less than a day.

If they are containerized, no, they don't.
