Abstract
A method and system are provided. The method includes constructing a dependency graph of cloud resources based on interdependencies between the cloud resources. The dependency graph includes a set of nodes, a set of edges, and a precedence order. Each node corresponds to one of the cloud resources. Each edge corresponds to an association between two of the cloud resources. The precedence order corresponds to a processing order of the nodes. The method further includes applying a set of cleanup rules to each node to determine a cleanup eligibility of any of the cloud resources corresponding to each node. The method also includes removing from the cloud any of the cloud resources determined to be cleanup eligible based on the applying step. The dependency graph is constructed by scanning, in a cloud resource dependency construct, different cloud resource types to be incorporated into the dependency graph.
