Abstract
A system includes persistent storage configured to store data on behalf of a managed network and a discovery application configured to perform operations. An application system hosts software applications on behalf of the managed network. The operations include obtaining a service identifier for the application system and, based thereon, determining partitions into which the application system is divided. The operations also include determining, within each respective partition, spaces between which the software applications of the managed network are distributed, and determining, within each respective space, one or more software applications of the software applications of the managed network. The respective space provides an isolated computing environment for execution of the one or more software applications therein. The operations further include determining a mapping that indicates a distribution of (i) the spaces among the partitions and (ii) the software applications among the spaces, and storing, in the persistent storage, the mapping.
