Abstract

A policy/resource decommissioning service determines whether a resource has been inactive for a period of time greater than at least one period of time threshold for decommissioning. If the resource has been inactive greater than a first period of time threshold, the service disables the resource such that requests to access the resource are denied. If the resource has been inactive for a period of time greater than a second threshold, longer than the first period of time threshold, the service archives the resource. The service deletes the resource if the inactivity period of the resource is greater than a third period of time threshold, where the third period of time threshold is longer than the first and the second period of time thresholds.
