Julia,

A basic summary of CERN does burn-in is at http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.ch/2018/03/hardware-burn-in-in-cern-datacenter.html

Given that the burn in takes weeks to run, we'd see it as a different step to cleaning (with some parts in common such as firmware upgrades to latest levels)

    Cleaning - Burn-in
    
    As part of discussing cleaning changes, we discussed supporting a
    "burn-in" mode where hardware could be left to run load, memory, or
    other tests for a period of time. We did not have consensus on a
    generic solution, other than that this should likely involve
    clean-steps that we already have, and maybe another entry point into
    cleaning. Since we didn't really have consensus on use cases, we
    decided the logical thing was to write them down, and then go from
    there.
    
    Action Items:
    * Community members to document varying burn-in use cases for
    hardware, as they may vary based upon industry.
    * Community to try and come up with a couple example clean-steps.
