Abstract
A device receives information associated with a resource provided by a cloud computing environment to the device, where the resource is eligible to be reaped. The device determines whether a representation of the resource is referenced in a data structure associated with the device, and initiates a delay timer when a representation of the resource is not referenced in the data structure. When the delay timer has expired, the device stops the resource and one or more resources dependent on the resource and provided by the cloud computing environment, and deletes, from the data structure, representations of the one or more resources dependent on the resource.
