Abstract
Techniques for refreshing application instances periodically based on a refresh rate parameter, providing enhanced health and stability for instances actively executing workloads. When a workload is received requesting one or more application instance(s), a refresh rate is determined, and the instance(s) are monitored. Periodically, based on the refresh rate, the monitored application instance(s) are refreshed. One or more instance(s) are identified for refreshing, one or more new replacement instance(s) are generated, and the identified instances are removed from active service and decommissioned. Workloads continue execution upon the newly generated instances, which are in turn monitored and refreshed as dictated by the refresh rate.
