Abstract
A method comprises receiving a list of names of compute resources of an enterprise network, the names of compute resources including at least one name of a virtual machine and at least one name of a host, for each of the list of names: assessing a particular name of the list of names for removable data and removing the removable data to generate a feature for that particular name, for each feature, determining distances based on at least one metric for every other feature, grouping features based on distances, each feature being in only one group, recommending groups of compute resources based on groups of features, each feature of a group of features being associated with a different compute resource, the group of compute resources corresponding to a particular group of features, and providing a report of recommended groups.
