Abstract
The disclosed technology receives a control input identifying a sampling criterion for classifying a data store storing a set of data objects in a computing environment as corresponding to a target data type and deploys one or more scanners configured to select a representative subset of data objects, from the set of data objects, based on the sampling criterion. A scanner result generated by the one or more scanners is received that represents detected instances, in the representative subset of data objects, of one or more pre-defined data patterns of the target data type. A classification result is generated based on a comparison of the number of detected instances of the one or more pre-defined data patterns to a threshold. The classification result represents a classification of the data store as having correspondence to the target data type. A computing action is performed based on the classification result.
