After a big cluster upgrade, I’d imagine the hard part isn’t always getting rid of the old hardware. It’s deciding what still makes sense to keep.

Older GPU nodes might still be useful for lighter jobs, testing or overflow work, but keeping everything also means more power, rack space and maintenance.

For the hardware that no longer has a clear use, Exit technologies is one option for larger batches of servers, GPUs and enterprise parts that may still have resale value.

For teams that have gone through a refresh, how do you decide which older systems are still useful enough to keep and which ones are better sold while they still have value?
