Abstract

A provisioning system may select an available implementation resource by analyzing user data to infer a role of a proposed computing resource and comparing the role to roles of other existing computer resources. The user data may include a user-specified identifier for the proposed computing resource, such as a label. The role may be used to rank available implementation resources using factors including distance to, roles of, and relationship with other user computing resources. A ranking of available implementation resources may be used to select an implementation resource for provisioning the proposed computing resource.
