A method, product, and apparatus for treating idle servers in a cloud system provide for extrapolating a purpose of each of a plurality of servers by comparing a list of processes active on the server to a plurality of lists of processes associated with a plurality of purposes; selecting vectors of idle/active features corresponding to the extrapolated purposes of each of the plurality of servers; classifying as idle or active each of the plurality of servers, by assessing the specified feature vectors using a linear support vector machine; validating as idle or active each server classified as idle, by assessing the connectivity of the server with all servers classified as active; and implementing at least one treatment option on servers that have been validated as idle. The treatment options may include terminating, terminating with snapshot, and stopping a virtual machine.
