Concepts and technologies are described herein for providing an automated mechanism for grouping devices to allow safe and scalable actions to be taken in parallel. A computing device obtains data that defines service relationships between computing entities in a network of computing entities controlled by a service provider. The computing device determines two or more groups of computing entities having one of a direct or indirect relationship with other computing entities within one of the two or more groups based on the obtained data. Then, the computing device determines one or more subgroups of one of the two or more groups based on the obtained data. Individual computing entities within a first subgroup of the one or more subgroups do not have a direct relationship with any of the other computing entities with the first subgroup. Output data identifying at least a portion of the subgroups is generated.
