Abstract

Disclosed herein are techniques for identifying computing resources specified by a representation of a computing service. In some implementations, a request to analyze a computing service provided via a computing environment may be received. The computing service may have an activated state in which the computing service is available for use and a deactivated state in which the computing service is not available for use. The computing environment may comprise a plurality of computing resources each defining a variable unit of computing functionality within the computing environment. Each computing resource may be associated with a respective parameter corresponding with a respective parameter value that specifies a level of the variable unit of computing functionality defined by the computing resource. The computing service may be represented by a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes, at least some of which specify a respective one or more of the parameter values.
