Description

In the world of automation, no looking back, moving fast and breaking things it greatly simplify extra work to have an expiry field on resources. This is a datetime field that renders a resource as either orphaned and easily reportable, hidden and ready to overwrite, or deleted - I mostly lean toward the former.

An example use case would be running a periodic job to push updates to NSoT about a resource, either from local server or EC2 or anything, that gets decommed suddenly and letting it be cleaned up nicely.
