Mine is in the picture: 1544 days and counting!
It’s an EC2 nano instance that’s used only as a monitor for a few services that are running inside my VPN. It has served me well over all these years!
EDIT: before everyone starts screaming about “security”:
It’s not internet facing and no port is opened, all it does is fire up a notification if/when something doesn’t reply.
Even in the unlikely scenario that someone gain access to it that means that my VPN is already compromised, and I’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

Makes sense but even then i would just run automatic updates every few months. Just to keep best practice. Nonetheless cool uptime, now do 10 years :)
Well now it’s becoming kind of a challenge: will AWS terminate/migrate the instance at some point, or will I be forced to reboot?
