Configure instances expiration for an environment

The Instances Expiration policy enables you to automatically delete stale instances that pass an expiration period and keep environments clean. The policy can be enabled per environment and applies to the instances it contains.

The expiration period count starts from the last update made to the instance, so as long as you're updating the instance, it keeps living.

Important: When you set an expiration period on an environment, all existing instances in that environment are evaluated for expiration and deleted if they fit the criteria. Verify your intent and that you are working on the correct environment before you apply this setting.
