    Mark a server as busy by setting its busy expiration time to one hour from the current UTC time.

    Args:
        server (str): The identifier or name of the server to mark as busy.

    Explanation:
        This function updates the 'busy' dictionary by associating the given server
        with a timestamp representing one hour from the current UTC time.
        This indicates that the server is considered busy until that future time.

    busy[server] = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(hours=1)
